I fell back to pre-rollup2. SPDIF started to work normally again. So, I know
it's not my hardware.
I waited a few weeks and then re-installed the latest rollup 2 package (I
had difficulties wth that process but that's another story). To my surprise,
my SPDIF output was still working.
Here's the where I discovered at least one thing that caused it to stop
working.
My kids have wanted a karaoke machine. I thought I might be able to use MCE
for such a purpose. About a year or so ago I had downloaded the free karaoke
plug-in from Microsoft. It didn't seem to do much for me at the time and I
kind of forgot that I had done this.
Well, I recently really started looking back into finding software that
could play karaoke CDs. During an experiment to play karaoke CDs, I tried to
launch the Microsoft karaoke plugin. It failed to launch and displayed some
script error message (looks like java code to me). Anyway I figured that my
messing around with these MCE upgrades must of corrupted it. No biggy. I just
downloaded the program again and it worked no problem.
Guess what happened though. My S/PDIF stopped working and started with the
same symptoms as desribed by me and others here. I did a system restore to
the point prior to this download and bingo ... my SPDIF started working
normally again (and has ever since).
If I think back over time my problems began around the time I installed this
karaoke plug-in for the first tme.
It would be interesting to here if anyone else on this thread had installed
this plugin as well.
Maybe this will give a clue to others here as to the problem but I think I
finally found my solution.

If I think back over time my problems began around the time I installed this
karaoke plug-in for the first tme.
It would be interesting to here if anyone else on this thread had installed
this plugin as well.
Maybe this will give a clue to others here as to the problem but I think I
finally found my solution.

I fell back to pre-rollup2. SPDIF started to work normally again. So, I know
it's not my hardware.
I waited a few weeks and then re-installed the latest rollup 2 package (I
had difficulties wth that process but that's another story). To my surprise,
my SPDIF output was still working.
Here's the where I discovered at least one thing that caused it to stop
working.
My kids have wanted a karaoke machine. I thought I might be able to use MCE
for such a purpose. About a year or so ago I had downloaded the free karaoke
plug-in from Microsoft. It didn't seem to do much for me at the time and I
kind of forgot that I had done this.
Well, I recently really started looking back into finding software that
could play karaoke CDs. During an experiment to play karaoke CDs, I tried to
launch the Microsoft karaoke plugin. It failed to launch and displayed some
script error message (looks like java code to me). Anyway I figured that my
messing around with these MCE upgrades must of corrupted it. No biggy. I just
downloaded the program again and it worked no problem.
Guess what happened though. My S/PDIF stopped working and started with the
same symptoms as desribed by me and others here. I did a system restore to
the point prior to this download and bingo ... my SPDIF started working
normally again (and has ever since).
If I think back over time my problems began around the time I installed this
karaoke plug-in for the first tme.
