how can I enable SPDIF in Debian (Martin Wild XBMC Image).

[aps...@hotmail.com]

Hi.

my cubie SD-CARD is Martin Wild's Debian image .

I Don't know How to enable SPDIF.

 

I Set the value "spdif_used" 0 to 1  In script file.

 

[spdif_para]
spdif_used = 1
spdif_mclk =
spdif_dout = port:PB13<4><1><default><default>
spdif_din =

 

the I tested SPDIF is OK in NAND Android mode.

my DAC accepted the signal  well.

 

but It  recognize only HDMI, and analog Out.

 

root@debian:/# aplay -l

card 1: sun4isndhdmi [sun4i-sndhdmi], device 0: SUN4I-HDMIAUDIO sndhdmi-0 []
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

 you should load the required modules.

[root@mele fritz]# modprobe sun4i-spdif
[root@mele fritz]# modprobe sun4i-spdma
[root@mele fritz]# modprobe sun4i-sndspdif
[root@mele fritz]# modprobe sndspdif
[root@mele fritz]# aplay -l

many thanks !

in addition (for newbie),

I Set the value "spdif_used" 0 to 1  In script file. 

script file is in /boot/script.bin 

to edit, you need to download and compile sunxi utils

use bin2fex and fex2bin utils (fex is readable format)

# bin2fex script.bin > script.fex

(obviously, you need to re-convert to bin after editing)

refer: http://linux-sunxi.org/Sunxi-tools , https://github.com/linux-sunxi/sunxi-tools/

ro...@debian:/# aplay -l

if you don't have "aplay", 

# apt-get install alsa-utils 

- loading modules on boot (modprobe is not permanent)

edit "/etc/modules"

just write module name for each line (do not write "modprobe")

- using s/pdif in xbmc

setting-audio output-Audio output device and Passthrough output device

Hello,
I do have the required modules compiled on the kernel, and I can see and use spdif/toslink
However I can't use volume output on it.
Are you able?
Thanks
Sebastian

you don't need to compile. 

compiled modules are in hwpack. http://linux-sunxi.org/Hwpack 

but problem is.. it supports only 2ch spdif. no passthrough.

i successfully played ac3 5.1ch surround on linaro alip ( http://dl.cubieboard.org/software/ubuntu/cb-sdcard-1.1-linaro-quantal-alip-20130227-290.img.tgz )

this distribution includes GUI. see my configurations (attached files). 

i tested on VLC and MPlayer (not yet tested on xbmc.. maybe it has no pass-through)

it's obvious that you need to edit script.bin and load modules
