HDA Intel missing Digital out

[jmggs]

I have a Asus P7P55E-Pro motherboard with VT1828S. The card is onboard. I have analog outputs and also extra SPDIF Coaxial and Optical out.
Running Debian 10.3 64bit with 4.19.0-8-amd64 kernel

# aplay -l | grep card
card 0: MID [HDA Intel MID], device 0: VT1828S Analog [VT1828S Analog]
card 0: MID [HDA Intel MID], device 2: VT1828S Alt Analog [VT1828S Alt Analog]
card 0: MID [HDA Intel MID], device 3: VT1828S Digital [VT1828S Digital]
card 1: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
card 1: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 7: HDMI 1 [HDMI 1]
card 1: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 8: HDMI 2 [HDMI 2]
card 1: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 9: HDMI 3 [HDMI 3]

I only have built in audio analog, also have tried pulse audio volume control but no options for digital audio. How can enable digital audio?

You could try alsamixer from a terminal, if you don't have it installed you can install the alsa-utils package.

You might need to press F6 (in alsamixer) to select the card and it will hopefully show your "S/PDIF 1" and maybe more (2,3,4....) sometimes they are muted

I have tried that but no sound show 00 and not muted. Why it don't show Built-in Digital out? The SPDIF it there but no option in Gnome to select see the image.https://ibb.co/MZjdV8p

Have you tried selecting a different profile from the drop-down?

I have a P7P55 LX in a box, I will get it out tomorrow (too late here to start going through storage) although it has the VT1708S so not quite the same, but I will take a look anyway as I'm locked down her so it'll make a change from gardening.

I have this box booted and have the following

Code: Select all

dave@i3540:~$ aplay -l | grep card
card 0: MID [HDA Intel MID], device 0: VT1708S Analog [VT1708S Analog]
card 0: MID [HDA Intel MID], device 3: VT1708S Digital [VT1708S Digital]
card 1: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
card 1: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 7: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
card 1: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 8: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
card 1: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 9: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]


Alsamixer shows "S/PDIF" and "S/PDIF Default" options, although I do not have anything to test the output is working or not...
