Hi Stefan,

Option A didn't make a difference but commenting out the NO_MIXER define
fixed the problem! So thank you for your help (as well as softdevice in
general ;)

In the following webpage:

http://alsa.opensrc.org/via8233

there's the following text:

"If the playback device indicates a link is present, but makes no sound,
check the mixer 'IEC958 Playback AC97-SPSA'. The S/PDIF always outputs
at full volume - even muting the master or PCM mixers does not affect
the S/PDIF volume..."

Well, don't know if that means anything, but I think that the master PCM
doesn't do anything for this chip....

Thanks again, juhis
