Comment 9 for bug 352556

If a specific model= quirk works for you then we are likely missing a
codec selection quirk for your hardware. Could you attach dmidcode and
lspci -vvnn output to the bug for your machine. We can then look see if
that one is missing.

..

the model specific quirk was already in place. Then someone requested that the output nid was changed to 0x10 from 0x06, so they could utilize the spdif on the mobo header.

my research and comments regarding this are here. links to the above mentioned change and how newer versions of the alsa module can handle multiple spdif are also listed there.

I was surprised that jaunty was released without even a mention of this in the release notes, but probably not many people are using the spdif.

thanks for taking the time to investigate this issue
