Description of problem: The SPDIF output to my Dolby Digital (AC3) receiver stopped working with the update to kernel-PAE-3.8.1-201.fc18.i686. It worked fine on kernel-PAE-3.7.9-205.fc18.i686 I'm testing it with an AC3 video and mplayer -ao alsa -ac hwac3. Just rebooting ans switching the kernel solves it. When I look at the optical cable, there isn't any light coming out with the latest kernel, while there is a seemingly constant red light with the one before. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-PAE-3.8.1-201.fc18.i686 How reproducible: Always
Same here on x86_64 with snd_hda_codec_realtek and snd_hda_intel. Audio works on analog output.
SPDIF output still does not work with kernel-PAE-3.8.2-206.fc18.i686
This may be useful: $ lsmod | grep snd snd_hda_codec_hdmi 36052 1 snd_hda_codec_realtek 63817 1 snd_hda_intel 38307 2 snd_hda_codec 110678 3 snd_hda_codec_realtek,snd_hda_codec_hdmi,snd_hda_intel snd_hwdep 13232 1 snd_hda_codec snd_seq 54699 0 snd_seq_device 13824 1 snd_seq snd_pcm 85985 3 snd_hda_codec_hdmi,snd_hda_codec,snd_hda_intel snd_page_alloc 13852 2 snd_pcm,snd_hda_intel snd_timer 23742 2 snd_pcm,snd_seq snd 63246 13 snd_hda_codec_realtek,snd_hwdep,snd_timer,snd_hda_codec_hdmi,snd_pcm,snd_seq,snd_hda_codec,snd_hda_intel,snd_seq_device soundcore 14123 1 snd
This bug i marked i686 but the very same happens on x86_64 platform
I reverted to 3.7.9 to have sound back (sorry for double posting I've hit submit too early)
Is this working with 3.8.7 now?
No, still no light out of my optical cable. kernel-PAE-3.8.7-201.fc18.i686.PAE
kernel-3.8.11-200.fc18.x86_64 doesn't work either I stick with 3.7.9
Still valid for 3.9.4-200.fc18.x86_64. Can I provide you some information that can help you track what cause the problem?
