Description of problem: HW: NForce 2 Chipset External soundsystem connected via digital output (copper spdif) No Sound is generated Cabling the amplifer via analog produces sound, so the driver is correct, but the digital output is not activated. Perhaps an extension to snd-config to try the other output options if the user clicks "No" after the "Did you hear the sound" dialog would be a viable solution. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Rawhide 2006-08-26 How reproducible: Every Time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
Could you attach /root/scsrun.log and /root/scsconfig.log?

Hi Martin, I did some digging around. If I select "NVidia nForce2 - IEC958" system-config-soundcard will play the testsound. But all other apps like Totem or Rythmbox still keep silent, so I would guess, the generated config-file isn't correct. Also when starting system-config-soundcard a second, it does not seem to remember the selected pcm-device from the first run. cu romal
Could you please check "$aplay -D hw:0,2 /usr/share/sounds/phone.wav"? You may use "hw:0,2" device instead of the default...
Hi, yes, that rings a bell :-) Sorry, for the delay, I was on vacations (without internet access, grrr). cu romal [romal@delos yum.repos.d]$ aplay -D hw:0,2 /usr/share/sounds/phone.wav Playing WAVE '/usr/share/sounds/phone.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Stereo Warning: rate is not accurate (requested = 44100Hz, got = 48000Hz) please, try the plug plugin [romal@delos yum.repos.d]$
i have an NVidia Nforce2 AC97 which is detected properly but in order to get the sound test to work I have to change the drop-down box to iec958. but even when I make the default IEC958 in the settings tab, absolutely no program will play through the digital speakers. I tried your aplay -D hw:0,2 /usr/share/sounds/phone.wav and it did play through the digital speakers. What does that mean? How can we make it default to hw:0,2 for all programs??
Can you please attach your: /etc/asound.conf ~/.asoundrc (if you have them) It looks like a problem here... Do you hear a sound via IEC958 if you run this one? $aplay /usr/share/sounds/phone.wav

Hello, it's a bug in system-config-soundcard, fixed in FC-7. If you use FC-6, write to your /etc/asound.conf these lines: defaults.pcm.card 0 defaults.pcm.device 2 defaults.ctl.card 0
