> Yesterday I got an interesting email related to dcaenc support.<br>
><br>
> The person has an "XFX nForce 780i SLI" MCP board: <a href="http://www.nvidia.com/object/product_nforce_780i_sli_us.html">http://www.nvidia.com/object/product_nforce_780i_sli_us.html</a> , <a href="http://www.evga.com/support/manuals/files/132-CK-NF78.pdf">http://www.evga.com/support/manuals/files/132-CK-NF78.pdf</a><br>
><br>
> As you see on page 18 of the manual, this board has no HDMI output, but there is an optical SPDIF. Strangely enough, this SPDIF is his "hdmi:CARD=NVidia,DEV=0" device.<br>
><br>
> Given the recent discussions related to dynamically creating PCM devices for HDMI, I think you will be interested in this alsa-info output.<br>
><br>
> Is there anything here that would need special treatment by ALSA or PulseAudio? Or, is this just a misnumbered/misnamed codec?<br>

<p>Check whether BIOS set the internal spdif as HDMI as pin default </p>
<p>The alsa driver prefer HDMI instead of SPDIF when there are two Digital Outs<br>
