Title: Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio S/PDIF Out volume problems Status in “alsa-driver” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: If I select digital S/PDIF output, the volume is very low. By maxing the amp, sound comes out normal, but this is not convenient. If, on the other hand, I select analog output, I surprisingly also get S/PDIF output, now at normal volume level (aprox the same as other devices connected to same amp). The system volume control, however, does nothing until 15-0 % or so turns down and then mutes the volume quickly. Running the ubuntu-bug, the first playback test gives good output on the stereo (via S/PDIF), but the second does not.
