It may well be. I have had all kinds of problems getting onboard SPDIF
chips to work under Linux. I have been told (but since I can't remember
where, this isn't authoritative) that the motherboard vendors play fast and
loose with the standards, provide a driver that works in Windows, and say
they're done, and that such chips simply won't work in Linux.

I eventually just bought a PCI sound card that has always worked.

[root at mongoliad mythtv]# lspci | grep -i audio
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset High
Definition Audio Controller (rev 04)
01:00.1 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation GK107 HDMI Audio Controller (rev
a1)
07:01.0 Multimedia audio controller: C-Media Electronics Inc CMI8788

The first one is the onboard chip and has never worked. The last is the PCI
sound card that works out of the box with every kernel I've used.
