happens to be the case that ALSA identifies the SPDIF output of my card to
be device 2. This is how I found the info for the file above:<BR><BR>$ cat

capture<BR> 11: [ 2] : control<BR><BR>Notice the following
line:<BR> 3: [ 0- 2]: digital audio playback<BR><BR>I believe that
this is read as device 2 on card 0. My understanding is that sound is played
on 0-0 by default, so if the default setup is not causing audio to come out
of SPDIF, check it.<BR><BR>Jesse.<BR><BR><BR><BR>Razza wrote:

trying to get my FrontEnd to pass all sound through the SPDIF output. I
have looked for /etc/alsa.conf and ~/.asound neither of which can be
found. Can anyone point me to a good article (excluding - <A
