The sound setup system does not display SPDIF Digital.

[Hicks]

The sound setup system does not display SPDIF Digital.

I've been reporting for quite some time that when choosing the desired sound system, the SPDIF Digital option never appears.

I have a 5.1 sound system that I connect through the SPDIF Digital (optical) cable, and I have to juggle to get it to work. Unfortunately in the last version of Ubuntu or Kubuntu the patch I used doesn't work anymore.

The rest of the settings are correct, Analog SPDIF, stereo, etc.

Please, could someone make the system recognize that audio output automatically?

Thank you in advance
