OK, just to sort things... maybe the above reports concern different issues.
My problem: I want to have PCM audio on line/headphone jacks and spdif optical simultaneously, just the way it worked before with ubuntu and as it works right now when I boot into windows xp. But after playing a DVD with AC3 passthrough it stopped working, and I can't seem to fix it even with the steps I described in my previous post. Neither do a reboot (with deactivated alsactl restore) nor the iecset utility work... Still, as reported before, selecting spdif as output device explicitly does give me PCM output on optical, but not on the analog jacks. I'm using a Samsung Q35 laptop, Ubuntu 8.04, snd_hda_intel driver (3stack), Analog Devices AD1986A chip. Output of /proc/asound/Intel/codec#0 is attached. ** Attachment added: "/proc/asound/Intel/codec#0" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/18731794/output.txt -- SPDIF won't play PCM after playing AC3 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/25632 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
