This should probably should be reset by ALSA, not PA when the "front:xxx" audio device is opened. Reassigning.

Still an issue with f13.

Still an issue with f15.

It is very difficult to find workaround. So I write a post about workaround for people with this problem.

Temporary workaround: http://jamerlan.blogspot.com/2011/06/fedora-15-and-audigy-4-temporary.html

Complete workaround: http://jamerlan.blogspot.com/2011/06/final-workaround-for-no-sound-bug-with.html

Thank you!
Please fix this bug.

iv'e had the same problem with my SB0400 Audigy2 Value card ever since about f10 or 11 (still happening in f15). To make S/PDIF Optical Raw switch stay off on reboot etc i edit the /usr/share/alsa/cards/Audigy2.conf file changing


			{
				name "IEC958 Optical Raw Playback Switch"
				lock true
				preserve true
				value [ 1 1  ]
			}

to 
			{
				name "IEC958 Optical Raw Playback Switch"
				lock true
				preserve true
				value [ 0 0  ]
			}

also need to remember to do this whenever update alsa-lib package

would be nice if it was fixed so i don't have to do this though.

> Still an issue with f15.

On Macbook Pro 4,1 (possibly others), this is still a problem with F16 beta. Optical S/PDIF is enabled by default. Version for this bug # should be changed to 16.

Related bug is that presently alsamixer crashes on launch so permanent fix isn't possible. http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=746153

Looks like this bug was fixed in Pulse Audio 1.0 version: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Notes/1.0

"alsa-mixer: Mute IEC958 optical raw for several Audigy models"

Well it's either not fixed for all hardware, or something other than Pulse Audio is enabling the Optical S/PDIF. The port is always enabled when booted from the F16-beta Live CD, on both Macbook Pro 4,1 and Macbook Pro 8,2 models. The port is not enabled when booted from the F16-beta DVD. If a system is installed from either LiveCD or DVD, upon reboot the optical port is enabled by default.

We don't have PA 1.0 in F16.

Looks like it's presently version 0.9.23

Powertop reports "Audio codec hwC0D0: Cirrus Logic (pulseaudio)" is using 14.8W of power, which seems rather not believable. Yet battery times with a fresh install of F16 beta sitting idle doing nothing barely lasts 1.5 hours, conversely is good for 5 hours with Mac OS 10.6.8 (same machine, same idle state doing nothing). So I'd consider this significantly not good. I'm not sure a optical S/PDIF light uses that much power.

Only this patch is required to add to PA:

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/commit/?id=838672974ec35c9e9eea4f67a2e7206f5cf87c22

Reassigning back to the pulseaudio package.

Still a problem in F17 Beta TC1. i.e. the red light is on by default.

pulseaudio 1.1-8.fc17.x86_64

Still a problem in F17 Final TC1. Red light on audio port is on by default.

Still present on two systems running Fedora 17 for me as well.

This is still a problem in F17, fully updated.

As a workaround I can create a small script and create a start up item to run it, so that it turns back off shortly after logging in, but it would be great if the state was saved through reboots.

#!/bin/bash
sleep 15
amixer -c 0 sset "IEC958" mute


If IEC958 does not work, you can run 'amixer -c 0' to see a full list and look for the correct name.

Still a bug in pulseaudio-1.1-9.fc17.x86_64. SPDIF is on after each boot, and resets apparently every time Xorg is reset (Ie logout / login)

Behavior is fixed in pulseaudio-2.1-4.fc18.x86_64 on a Macbook Pro 4,1. Fedora 18 (final) TC3. Have not attempted regression to see when it was fixed.

Can confirm this is now working in fc18 also.

> http: //git.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/commit/?id=838672974ec35c9e9eea4f67a2e7206f5cf87c22

do it need to put in all analog path instead of common

+[Element IEC958 Optical Raw]
+switch = off

This is now working in current release.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 18 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 18. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '18'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be 
able to fix it before Fedora 18 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior to Fedora 18's end of life.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Fedora 18 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2014-01-14. Fedora 18 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.

changing resolution, because hey, we fixed it. only took four years! there's service for ya ;)

Sorry to inform that...
But the problem persists in Fedora 20 in a Macbook Pro 8,1.
IEC958 "red light" is turned on every time Xorg is reset (Ie logout / login).

augusto: is this on a fresh install or an upgraded system? you may somehow have bad saved mixer settings on an upgraded system. easy way to check is to boot a live image and see what happens. thanks!

Adam: Fresh install.
I just booted a Fedora 20 live image and the same happens...
I can disable the IEC958 (turning off the red led) with the command: "amixer -c0 cset numid=16 off"
I tried to store the ALSA mixer settings via "alsactl store", and the file /var/lib/alsa/asound.state is correctly written, but every time that Xorg is reset (Ie logout/login) something is turning on the IEC958 again (Pulseaudio?).

Reopening. It's happening on a MacbookPro 9,2 with Fedora-Live-Workstation-x86_64-rawhide-20140625.iso
