A7N8X Deluxe SPDIF problems

[Petar]

Hi all,

I have A7N8X Deluxe rev 1.3 board. I didn't get the SPDIF module in package
with board. Now I purchased and connected no-name SPDIF module and have
connected my speakers with optical SPDIF cable but I got no signal. Onboard
coaxial SPDIF works fine.

Does the fact that I didn't get SPDIF module with my board means that
optical SPDIF doesn't work?

The SPDIF module is an optional extra... I believe you need the Asus one, I
think it's the same as one from another of their boards, but don't recall
which.
