The problem I've had was fixed in Intrepid; as far as I can tell it had to do with a changed default behavior of ALSA (hda-intel) to set the sound format of PCM output to float instead of integer, and this is what caused the spdif output to remain silent.
The Intrepid version of ALSA includes a mixer switch named "IEC958 Default PCM" which can be activated to set the default format to integer. -- 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
