Look for item #11 in the manual - the FP_AUDIO header has two
jumpers:

Connects Line_Out_R to BLine_Out_R
Connects Line_Out_L to BLine_Out_L

This has nothing to do with SPDIF, but would affect the lime colored
Line_Out connector on the back of the computer.

Check this page, for mention of an "Advanced" button. Maybe
SPDIF enable is buried in there somewhere:
