S/PDIF Out with Asus P5E3 Premium on AD1988B

[brianlan]

Hey guys, please try to advise me of my options if you can.

 

Brief specifications of my setup.

 

Asus P5E3 Premium - Wifi-ap @n Edition

Intel Core 2 Quad, Q9450 @ 2.66 GHz

4GB Memory at 1333 MHz

Asus nVidia 8800 GTS 512 (Apple Drivers by default) <-- works great out of the box.

 

Audio chipset is AD1988B

 

First off I have successfully installed Mac OS X 10.6.0 with [url=&quot;http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/&quot;]#####[/url] 3.1.1. Upgraded system to 10.6.8 (did not reboot yet). Using [url=&quot;http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/&quot;]#####[/url] I applied the current Premium DSDT from the P5E3 google code project (now I rebooted). Enabled both on-board gigabit network cards via kext from link below.

 

For reference the DSDT was supplied from Asus P5E3 DSDT - Google Code Project!

 

At this point the machine works great!!

 

In the past (windows systems) I use the coaxial output of the sound card to drive my sound system. But I have tried various sets of drivers and all seem to only support the standard "green" audio jack.

 

Does anyone have experience in getting the coaxial S/PDIF output enabled and supported in Mac OS X? If not is there an add-in card that I can buy to get this functionality?

 

Thanks for your time and energy to assist me in this matter!
