no sound with DIGITAL INPUT

[jacques]

Hello,

I have a giga-byte GA-EG43-S2H with an integrated REALTEK ALC888 sound 
card. I'm unable to use the digital INPUT while recording or using pipe 
(arecord -M -D iec958 -f dat | aplay -D iec958 -f dat). Also, the 
giga-byte GA-EG41-S2H has the same problem (uses the same sound 
chipset). The giga-byte GA-EP45-UD3R is working perfectly but it uses a 
different sound chip (ALC889A). I tried a lot of things like changing 
snd-hda-intel model (auto, 6stack-dig, 3stack-dig, etc). I upgraded the 
ALSA sound driver to the latest version (1.0.19) and also used the 
snapshot. My distribution is Ubuntu 8.10 (server edition) 64 bits. I 
also installed the desktop version of it without success. I tested the 
digital input on Windows operating system and it works perfectly. Now, 
I'm not sure if I'm missing something with the configuration or it is a 
problem with the ALSA driver or the kernel module itself.

Look at the outputs from alsa-info script (computer outputs for details):

Thank you for helping me to solve this problem.
