Sound Blaster Recon3Di S/PDIF No Output

Greetings,

I’ve installed Fedora Linux (with pipewire) on my friend’s Alienware M17xR4 (linux-hardware probe).

This incredible laptop got a Sound Blaster Recon3Di with a S/PDIF Digital Output which unfortunally does not work out of the box. I can see the vu meter moving inside gnome-control-center but no audio comes out and the port’s red light (which on Windows lights up) does not turn on at all.

By lookin up I’ve found this thread on Linux Mint Forums but I had no luck with it.

Has anyone else got issues with similar hardware? Thanks in advance.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
