Did you player prints anything? Did player progress bar is moving? How do you run your player and what is it? Did your receiver detects some data stream and which type (PCM/data)? Also try to make sure that Soft PCM vol will not touch binary data stream - try to set both pcm and vol controls in mixer2 to 100. > Tried to play a bit with the boot hints but i'm not quite shure what i > should to put here (cad, seq and as is a bit unclear to me, assuming > that nid 30 is my SPDIF-out). > > Attached you'll find lot's of debugging info, hope this helps :) > The files were made after booting with > hint.hdac.0.config="gpio2" and > hint.hdac.0.cad0.nid6.config="device=SPDIF-out" > Made no difference though (at least for AC3 output..). I think they won't. GPIO usually controls analogs parts, while device=SPDIF-out I think is already set in your case. -- Alexander Motin
