I just installed the latest beta version (Volumiobuster-3.111-2021-10-08-x86_amd64.img) an I am not able to get any sound output on SPDIF or HDMI.
I have checked in alsamixer that SPDIF is not muted:
Some info from my system:

Thank you for the good work on Volumio!

My PC has several ALSA devices, but Playback Options panel only shows two (with the same name). In other words, audio cards are recognized but not the single devices. Is that how it is intended to be?

OK, this is a tough one, you have two physical sound cards?
(Not necessarily an issue, just trying to get a clear picture)
Could you please also share a log so I can see whether the onboard sound init script was triggered?
Howto create a log
Preferable from a fresh reboot 
Either there is no card profile for your sound card yet (unlikely as HDA Intel PCH is a well known one) or the ALC898 is not initialised, need to check this. Thanks for the log, it should help.
What do you get from the dropdown list in the playback options?
I tried several times to install Volumio 3.114 on an external HDD, but the operation failed.

Would you be able to do small script editing with my support? Using ssh and nano?
Thanks for the info and logs.
It appears, that there is a problem with trying to remove the partition data from the “DS pocket pace 3”. The “undefined” is a bit cynical, there is no error code and no kernel message either. I’m stumped.
Is there a way for you to manually clean the partition table?
- you have two physical sound cards?
There’s no physical card, it’s the on-board audio.
Log from a fresh reboot:
http://logs.volumio.org/volumiobuster/Ds5kEQi.html
This will take a little longer to analyse, the 2 sound cards have the same ID we use for identification.
Not sure how this is going to work, I recon you have linux skills and able to do some editing with nano? With my info?
Do you have an extra ATI graphics card then (would add an HDMI sound card)?
Yes, I can 
If you tell me the CLI commands we may spare time…
There isn’t any other card installed, it’s just the mother board, the internal drives and the power supply.
Seen a lot of x86 configurations, but never seen this sound card combination
I’ll think of something, but time is running out for today.
You noticed, I moved your posts. Anything that reeks of x86-specific issues, report them in this thread please.
If it is general Volumio, I can always move it.
Ok
Just to be clear, the problem of the failed installation on an external HDD and the issue of the (apparently) two audio cards with the same name pertain to two different machines. I’m remarking just to avoid confusion… 
Thats ok, the issues are not related
Ok, I managed to install Volumio on the external HDD. I cleaned the partition table with this command:
sudo wipefs -a /dev/sdc
/dev/sdc: 8 bytes were erased at offset 0x00000200 (gpt): 45 46 49 20 50 41 52 54
/dev/sdc: 8 bytes were erased at offset 0xe8e0db5600 (gpt): 45 46 49 20 50 41 52 54
/dev/sdc: 2 bytes were erased at offset 0x000001fe (PMBR): 55 aa
/dev/sdc: calling ioctl to re-read partition table: Successo
Yeah, perfect approach
Dear chsims1, dear gkkpch,
with regards to my mini PC with ALC5651 audio chip I sent extra email.
My machine: Mini PC AZW Z83 II 2GB RAM, 32GB eMMC HD, Quad-Core Atom x5-Z8350, Realtek ALC5651 audio chip, OS on eMMC.
My other, new, topics seems to be also x86-related:
Yesterday I updated my machine from 3.083 beta to 3.114 beta: Sound is ok, similar to what I already experienced with 3.083: sound only via headphone Jack and after the fresh installation the sound stops after a few seconds but after a shutdown from within Volumio and a restart with the PC knob, the audio output is fine!
WLAN doesn’t work (no change), but LAN does the job.
However, now, there seems to be a problem with my 1 TB SSD FAT32 (with about 500 GB of MP3 music) attached via external USB 3.0.
I tested in the evening and heard perhaps a dozens songs and everything seemed to be fine. Next day: music database broken, only few of the music subfolders left.
Re-reading of the database didn’t succeeded, after less then 1,000 artists, process ends with a non-reacting PC and I had to force restart.
Log report after forced re-start: http://logs.volumio.org/volumiobuster/5XNzAOZ.html.
That means for the moment: back to 3.083 beta (that worked quite good to me), I fear. Or to you think the changes from 3.111 to 3.114 made the problems?
Kind regards, Trollpferd
