I have a problems with optical out on my system — may be could you help me please.
I’ve installed latest Volumio to Foxconn nT-535 platform (foxconnchannel.com/ProductDe … -us0000006), sound chip is ALC888 with S/PDIF-OUT (optical).
So, first of all I’ve un-muted S/PDIF via alsamixer. Now i see “Red light” — but it’s no sound on my system when I connect it. Other outputs working.
So, again, how can I enable sound via optical-out? I don’t find any suggestion in web-interface.
Sorry, the current i386 kernel has no support for the ALC888 sound chip (or the ALC268 for that matter)
Could you ssh into the machine and do
cat /proc/asound/cards
and
head -n 1 /proc/asound/card0/codec*
@gkkpch, sorry for false alarm. I see, that only with flac 192/24 there is no sound via optical. 96/24 flac playing well via optical.
via analog playing well both.
it’s an issue with my DAC, yes? they can’t 192/24?
Hi gkkpch, could you pls tell me how to set up S/PDIF (optical) sound output correctly in other x86 mini PC devices with S/PDIF interface? Like intel Nuc and Lenovo K80?
some of these are old devices, when I choose an output device in the playback configuration can not see any other devices besides my onboard sound card and HDMI graphic interface. are they not supported?
