Intel PCH Audio issues

Hello!

I'm having issues getting my spidif/3.5mm combo port on my Clevo P775DM3-G working in either spidif or analog mode.
I've searched the forums and have tried raising the volume in alsamixer to no avail. The line out port is working fine. Just not the most important one >_<
Here is my alsa.sh output
http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=c5f7a … 511d3cfb26

If any additional information is needed I'll provide upon request.

Thanks for taking the time to help me with this issue

Edit: While tinkering with it I noticed that pavucontrol only detects 1 of my ports and that's the line out. Tried switching around configs to no avail.

Are you sure? SPDIF controls are usually implemented exclusively, ergo you can only have digital or analog active not both at the same time. Due to this reason pulseaudio splits configurations like these into different profiles. Profiles can be switched in the "Configuration" tab of pavucontrol. If that doesn't help already, can you also post

It's a 4 jack laptop so I have the spidiff/3.5mm combo port, which both are not active at the same time just whichever type you have plugged in. line out, line in, and mic in.

Re: Intel PCH Audio issues

And as expected at least in this run, you aren't playing back to the SPDIF control, it might be that pulseaudio erroneously switches that around, but I'd like to verify that first: What happens when you run

pacmd set-card-profile alsa_card.pci-0000_00_1f.3 output:iec958-stereo+input:analog-stereo

does it start to work?

Re: Intel PCH Audio issues

And what does happen, does it switch to SPDIF and back immediately? What's the output of these commands now? There is a possibility that the reported wiring of your card is incorrect, in which case you can use hdajackretask to try and force that jack to correspond to a specific and working output. Also something to verify because it happens often enough, your cable is inserted correctly on the receiver's end and your volume there is set up correctly?
