Troubleshooting

If you don't have S/PDIF or HDMI sound check following:

  • Digital sound is disabled by default. Run alsamix and unmute it (IEC958)
  • aplay -l - display all playback devices. You should see digital one(s) - IEC958
  • aplay -L - should display S/PDIF or/and HDMI. If you don't see them try to install the newest version of ALSA and maybe nVidia drivers if you use nVidia card. Here is a script to upgrade ALSA automatically from the sources - ALSA upgrade script.
