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?
Best wishes,
Andrew
