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.

    There’s a lot of variables at play here. The simplest thing you can do is compare your sound system profiles and configs and see how they differ. If the setups are similar, you could just take all the configs from PopOs and drop them into your Fedora install I guess.
