Upgrade vrs new install

[wizardofoz]

I was using a system VB (not VBA) and it was installed originally with something like V0.9 some time back. It was upgraded over time to the now 1.3 and was working happily with a USB DAC and also HDA S/PDIF optical and coax output.




Since removing the DAC i now just wanted to use the S/PDIF coax/optical output. Thinking I would test a new install as I only had a few disks ripped, I burned a 1.3 install and went through the usual install.




Ripped a few SACD hybrid disks in and now I can seem to get either of the HDA outputs to work at all. I can't even get the green 3.5mm working with the Default device.




Board is an Intel Atom 330 D945GCLF2




Any ideas? Does one need to reboot after each change in the config? The squeeze server interface seems to reflect the chages for the anme each time I make a change???

Any help much appreciated.

OK I managed to get the green 3.5mm jack working using hw:0,0




I can't get any other set of S/PDIF outputs to work, either alone or with the green socket.

Anybody offer any suggestions?




Prior to this I had a USB DAC connected an that worked along with HDA digital outputs but not the 3.5mm one…I am fast giving up. I sold the DAC...maybe should have kept it.

wizardofox, only a few things to try: 1. On boot look in the bios as the spdif may need to be enabled. 2. From command prompt enter command alsamixer and see if the spdif is set to mute. 3. try different hardware outputs for hw:0,0 and hw:0,1 and so on per the list in the gui.


BTW, I tried spdif out on a MB this week and no luck.
