Title:
  IEC958 output works on login screen, not as logged in user.

Status in alsa-driver package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I'm no expert on the Linux sound architecture, so I apologize if I
  sent this bug report to the wrong package team.

  Anyhow, I'm using an A8N-E motherboard, NForce4 chipset with a Realtek
  ALC850 codec. To listen to audio, I'm using a DAC running off the
  SPDIF output of the onboard sound.

  When Ubuntu (10.04 LTS) boots up and the login screen is displayed, I
  get a quick "drum" sound. But when I log in as myself, none of the
  applications that I try have sound output. I've tried various
  combinations of .asoundrc files, using aplay to try playing test .WAV
  files to different cards/devices, etc. with no sound. Everything seems
  to be enabled in alsamixer, and my user has permissions to play sound.

  When I log out and Ubuntu returns to the login screen, I get the drum
  sound again.

  If you need me to try anything on my computer, or gather more data,
  let me know.
