Linux Mint 13 MATE - S/PDIF

[Flo]

Hi,

I followed the installation instructions of http://www.fit-pc.com/wiki/index.php/Li ... on_fit-PC2 to setup a Linux Mint 13 MATE installation as a tiny media player on a fit-PC2i with the IDT audio hardware revision.

The system seems to run smooth so far, but at the moment I struggle getting the S/PDIF audio output to work. Analog output works as expected selecting the analog audio card output. Switching to the digital card does not seem to enable any digital output

Do you have any hints how to enable the S/PDIF output on Linux MATE?

Thanks for your feedback,
-Florian

S/PDIF digital output on 3.5'' jack transferred on different signal then analog audio, thus should be connected to S/PDIF supported HW (amplifier, speakers, ...), otherwise won't work.
And of course should be selected in OS as the desired output.

I've connected the S/PDIF digital output to the COAX S/PDIF in port of my Logitech surround speaker system and changed the output adapter of the Mint 13 configuration to the Digital Adapter - but the Logitech Z-5500 surround system does not receive any digital S/PDIF data to process.

Could you confirm that the S/PDIF output does run on your Linux Mint 13 MATE system on a fit-PC2 rev. 1.1 which uses the IDT 92HD83 audio chipset instead of the newer Realtek ALC662?
