Hi,

Assuming that you are using alsa, it could be useful to have a look at
these links:
http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/DigitalOut
http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/TroubleShooting

If that doesn't help you find a solution, please come back, but with
additional information like which Via board you have, which soundcard
does the board have, what distribution do you use (kernel version,
drivers used etc) and so on.
