I had a similar similar problem when upgrading from Etch to Lenny with
the cmipci driver; mixer settings were not preserved during upgrades.
I my case I needed to reenable "IEC598 Output Switch" to get SP/DIF line out
back on again. Could you check your mixer settings / ALSA configuration, whether
everything is configured correctly?
