spdif doesn't work on dv9398eu

[Marcus]

Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.20-16-generic

I can't get any sound from the spdif output. aplay -l shows two devices:

**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 0: CONEXANT Analog [CONEXANT Analog]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 1: Conexant Digital [Conexant Digital]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

Playing on hw:0,0 works fine on front speakers, but hw:0,1 doesn't work. I also have a IEC958 switch in the mixer, but using that one doesn't make any difference.

Spdif works in Vista.

Thanks for submitting this report.

Could you please check if this issue is still current in the newest hardy (8.04) kernel?

Thanks

Yes, spdif is working in hardy heron. Good work.

Beginning with the Hardy Heron 8.04 development cycle, all open Ubuntu kernel bugs need to be reported against the "linux" kernel package. We are automatically migrating this bug to the new "linux" package. However, development has already began for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. It would be helpful if you could test the upcoming release and verify if this is still an issue - http://www.ubuntu.com/testing . If the issue still exists, please update this report by changing the Status of the "linux" task from "Incomplete" to "New". We appreciate your patience and understanding as we make this transition. Thanks!
