I finally managed to resolve this using the following method : - sudo apt-get --purge remove alsa-base alsa-utils linux-sound-base (also removes gdm ubuntu-desktop ubuntu-minimal ubuntu-mythtv-frontend) - locate and delete files/folders with asound or alsa - sudo apt-get clean - reboot - sudo apt-get install alsa-base alsa-utils linux-sound-base (gdm ubuntu-desktop ubuntu-minimal ubuntu-mythtv-frontend) - sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart - go to synaptic, search for alsa, mark all alsa related installed packages for reinstallation - reboot and spdif out is working again
