Hi, I do not know how to make this change permanent but hopefully we will have better hardware support in Deepin 15.2 version.

Thanks for the reply Dance. Is there a page with a release schedule/timeline so I can read about what's in the pipe for Deepin? I'm becoming a fan.

Hi, I have not seen a published release schedule/timeline. There is the blog   http://blog.deepin.org/
Twitter , IRC, The main Chinese web site and forum.

I've updated to 15.2 and the problem persists. On boot I have no audio and have to jump into the terminal. Do you know what to try next? If not, where should I ask?

I would you Deepin User Feedback in your applications. Keep in mind though the Deepin Linux kernel plan has short term and mid term goals and we did not get a Kernel update yet in 15.2

Have done. I'll report back if I find a fix. I might post on the ALSA forums.

Okay I've got a hotfix in mind.

Makes SPDIF work "amixer -c 0 cset name='IEC958 Playback Switch' on"
Makes it not insanely loud "amixer -c 0 set PCM 150"

How would I go about making this something that runs on boot?

Maybe you can put this command in the /etc/rc.local file?

Awesome, that must be the equivalent of a start up script in Manjaro. I tired it though and it didn't work. The issue may be the way in which alsa and maybe pulseaudio loads. Apparently my script in Manjro didn't work because it got overrides itself with an illogical load order. If you agree that's the problem, how can I make a script that waits until everything else is loaded?

I tried making a script in my home directory and then linking to it from rc.local "nohup /path/ &" but no luck.

You can use "crontab -e" as user and put there some entries. It's fine to search crontab on the google so you can see how it works editing of it.

No luck with crontab -e. Some resources say init.d is a directory, I see it as a file. Does Deepin have Upstart? Is there a way to add it as a start up application? Running a script on start up is a mess.

You can put .desktop file in ~/.config/autostart/

Thanks Tristar. I've never done this, so I must be wrong. Here is my alsaFix.desktop file in autostart.

Happy to report that Deepin listened and is the first OS I know of to function correctly with my speakers. Deepin 15.3 has a SPDIF option that works perfectly. Thank you.
