I just recompiled and installed alsa 1.5 on my epia 10000 and R4V4. Analoge sound works like a charm, but I don't know how to get the spdif sound working so I can hook it up to my reciever. How do I go about doing this? Also, will using spdif allow me to hear the audio from analoge sources, primaraly TV?

well I'm not sure how to get it working, but it should have no problem with sound from tv as you are not hearing/playing the sound directly from the card/cable/sat/etc. it is getting recorded into a sound file first then played back through the soundcard from that file in digital format.

You can find the answers to your question at http://www3.sympatico.ca/howlettfamily/epia/epia_howto/x310.html#spdif or here which covers everything related to VIA EPIA hardware.

To use S/PDIF with the ALSA modules, you must first execute the command amixer set 'IEC958 Playback AC97-SPSA' 0. This command does not set the volume - S/PDIF output is always at maximum volume. Instead, it sets the S/PDIF channel. The settings are: 0 - PCM1; 1 - PCM2, PCM1 (rear); 2 - Center and LFE; 3 PCM3, modem dedicated S/PDIF. The application must send its output to the S/PDIF device. For instance, to play PCM with mplayer using spdif, use the mplayer -ao alsa9:iec958 command; or to play AC3 use mplayer -ao alsa9:iec958 -ac hwac3.

Have you set the mobo jumper to S/PDIF?

The RCA socket on the rear is switchable between S/PDIF & composite video
by use of jumper "SPDIF_SEL".

For S/PDIF it should be bridging the lower 2 pins when you look at the mobo
with the backplane sockets on the left.
