[SOLVED] no audio thru toslink

[agent_kith]

So i did ran alsamixer and there was 3 toslink outputs - 16bit, pcm and one without description, all of them at 00 and I was unable to rise them up, I did tryied to hit "m" which muted them and then again, just to set them all back to 00 - but I was able to change output volume on analogue outputs.

So S/PDIF works now?
Hopefully onboard audio devices are better now. But there was a time they are locked at 48 kHz and it's multiples. And they don't resample PCM to match those rates. Meaning when you are playing 44.1 kHz music the contents will be played slightly at 48 kHz, raising the pitch slightly as a result.

hiface custom kernel does not work at all, no audio output from usb using mpd or upmpdcli (tracks wont play at all, not an audio volume issue) - as far as I know, first gen hiface usb>spdif interface was driver dependant, but second gen hiface "two" should be driverless, thus shouldnt require custom kernel, but thats only what I found on google... 

The Mytek kernel also includes the standard USB audio driver. Before you reset back to the stock kernel, clear all the configured audio devices in 'music player', and then add the audio device and try again. There may be no sound because the wrong card, deviice was used.

how do I roll back to stock kernel? I was unable to find it on forum

Start the Snakeoil OS WebApp, go to the snakeoil menu. There is an option called kernel, and you can pick from the drop down box the kernel you want. Hit the 'Save' button after you have made the selection, then go to the 'System' menu and press the 'Reboot' button.
