I have characterized the problem as best I can, and I'm sure it can be easily fixed. It looks like no one has ever filed a bug report about it though, at least I couldn't find any. Here's the problem. On my hardware, and I've read about the same problem on other hardware, the SPDIF output can't be turned on or off with KMix. In fact, the only way to control SPDIF output is to load the old aumix program and press the "M" mute key. When you do this, SPDIF magically turns on. Press "M" again and it will turn off. And here's the most mysterious part. When you turn SPDIF on or off with aumix, nothing you do with KMix has any effect on the SPDIF or normal speaker output. You can change any output, input, or switch you want with KMix and it has absolutely no effect. This indicates that aumix is controlling something that isn't even touched by KMix. As I said before, this is a major problem and unless users are lucky and persist ant enough to Google the aumix answer (as I was), it appears that SPDIF simply doesn't work. Please let me know if you need any other information or logs. I will be glad to help. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
