Problem statement
The card "works", but there is one feature missing - though I hesitate to call it "critical": S/PDIF / TOSLINK support is incomplete.
While sound works "fine" (ish), it's limited to 2 channels.
- Plugging in another USB device (CM106-type, for example) gives out a plethora of configuration options (per the screenshot), though this also comes with having to select the right output
- The "USB" audio outs are output-specific, which is VERY welcome, but the S/PDIF out does not allow for any advanced selection like "Supported Codecs", and the HiFi 5.1 and 7.1 do not appear to enable any IEC958/AC3 support in the background
Is there something missing in the config files to allow for such support?

#434 : ASUS RoG Strix Z790-F has wrong channels
That motherboard has the same codec and likely the same output list as this one's. It also is seemingly plagued by the same shortcomings.
I have the ASRock X870e Taichi Lite and get no sound output on the S/PDIF at all. Behavior is consistent among all KDE Ubuntu flavors and Manjaro. Updating conf files has no effect. Front and Rear panel 3.5mm jacks work fine.
Sorry, was at work when I typed that earlier.

Sorry for the previous comment. I was looking at my system's current config and not the repo's latest.
I thought it was right in the latest config pulled last night. The "Lite" version of the board is not listed, but the X870E Taichi is, dev id's appear to be the same for both boards. I don't think there is much difference between the 2 other than the heatsinks.
I remember having this issue with the X670E as well when it first came out, but updating the configs fixed that one.

Sorry to say but this is still an issue. The TOSLINK out is still not giving me surround, no matter the HiFi option. Something odd is stopping SPDIF from letting data through as if a normal IEC958 output.
I disabled the onboard sound and installed a SoundBlaster AE5-Plus PCI-Ex card, works great now.
I did however, later on, find these settings hidden in the BIOS and thought maybe they would correct the issue. Have you tried changing them to see if it makes a difference?

I tried playing with the BIOS settings, but nothing helped. My current workaround is an external USB card, but I really want to not rely on that.
@perexg that looks like a dupe indeed, but I haven't been able to find any documentation that would help me play with the UCM config to get S/PDIF direct output (bitstream? does that term apply here?) out of this "card".
Closing in favour of https://github.com/alsa-project/alsa-ucm-conf/issues/541 which is basically the overarching issue.
