I grepped sysctl list and found hw.snd.pcm0.spdif_enabled switch, but when I change it 0->1, the sound disappears (both analog and digital outputs are silent). I tried to play with other hw.snd switches, changed mixer levels and recsrc, searched the net for a few hours - but nothing came up. People hack into sound drivers in cases like mine, but I'm too lame for that yet. Anyways, after loading snd_driver dmesg says pcm0: <VIA VT8237> ... pcm0: [GIANT-LOCKED] pcm0: <Avance Logic ALC658 AC97 Codec> Motherboard manual says it's a "Realtek ALC658 CODEC (UAJ)" and the chip itself says "Realtek". Has anybody tried to make spdif out work on this mother?
