I can't see it there, though I never looked there before I made the change. Here's the output of Help > Audio Device Info : ============================== Default capture device number: 15 Default playback device number: 15 ============================== Device ID: 0 Device name: SB Audigy 4 [SB0610...

The Bodge 1) cd /usr/share/alsa 2) sudo leafpad alsa.conf 3) search for the string iec958 4) insert a '#' character at the start of that line 5) repeat 3 & 4 until no more left (I had 4 lines in total) 6) save & quit 7) reboot Check 8) run alsamixer - the playback tab still shows S/PDIF Optical Raw,...

it worked !
Alsamixer still shows the spdif interface, but Audacity no longer unmutes it on startup .

all I can think of is trying to comment out all references to iec958 in /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf .

Mute it again, and sound is heard. By default, this switch is muted/turned off so all is well normally. Unfortunately, when A...

The font I've been using is 7.2M (CT8MGM.SF2 - think I downloaded it for free from somewhere). I was planning to try loading the Qsynth font (FluidR3_GM.sf2). Its 141M but I ...

d'oh !
Capture/Synth was muted. No idea how that happened. Turned it back on and now my original fix works again so I no longer need Qsynth.

Thanks for all the help .

Well spotted :) A few days ago I tried at 44100 and it was distorted (see earlier in thread) but I tried again anyway and this time it wasn't as bad (maybe because I didn't have Pavucontrol running at the same time - or maybe just luck/inconsistency). Anyway, the big thing I have noticed is that if ...
