S/PDIF Audio Output (Audiophile 24/96)

Sorry, I should have put this in the hardware section.

I have a headset plugged into the S/PDIF In and Out of the 9-Pin connector cord that came with
the Audiophile 2496 (M-Audio). It is plugged in as well. My mother board includes an snd-hda-intel
drive card.

I have followed every piece of relevent instructions that I could find on the Arch Wiki, but I am not hearing
any sound. I do see output in the "Digital Mixer" of envy24control.

/etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf:
#
# /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf (for v2.6 kernels)
#
options snd slots=snd-ice1712
*********************

/etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf:
#
# /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf (for v2.6 kernels)
#
install snd_hda_intel /bin/false
*********************

/etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf:
alias snd-card-0 snd-ice1712
alias sound-slot-0 snd-ice1712
*********************

/etc/rc.local:
....
iecset audio
....
*********************

I also did this:
"Find a line that says: 'IEC958 Playback Switch'. Near it you will find a line saying value:false. Change it to value:true."

Mixer:

Patchbay: HW Out L/R -> Digital Mixer L/R | S-PDIF L/R Digital Mixer L/R
Monitors: PCM 1 & 2 unmuted and set to 10 below peak
********************

I am at a loss. I have never used a professional audio card with Linux. Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Let me
know what other info y'all might need.

Perhaps I made a stupid mistake. I forced the 3.5mm plugs into the S/PDIF cable. They seemed to fit so I didn't think much of it. Was that wrong?

Turns out I just made stupid mistakes with the hardware and cables. This card works perfectly with envy24control. I have excellent audio coming out of Alesis M1 Active Mk2 monitors! Could a moderator close/destroy this?
