hello,

I've the same problem as desribed below.

First everything was working under W2000 and after a complete
reinstallation, no spdif-options anymore in the mixer... Then I
decided to switch to XP in the hope the latest drivers would support
everything but still the same problem... no advanced options in the
windows mixer or the audiorack mixer.
After looking around in xp for a while I found out that the driver
that is installed is installed for a card <without> spdif on it. It
shows the following:

Chipversion: CMI8738 6 CH without SPDIF

That explains ofcourse why there isn't any option in the mixer to
enable spdif at all!
Trying to install older drivers didn't realy worked as XP prevents
you to do so.
Isn't somewhere out here a small utility that I can use to enable
spdif on the card so that XP sees it as a new card <with> spdif on
it? Or is there maybe some solution by editing the registry in XP?

Hope someone can help me out as it's most frusting that things did
work before...

Chris

P.S. the card I have is a digisound cmi8738 4 channel
