[EN] New Board, no spdif and network not working properly (r8169)
Lanzi:
I got a new board and a AMD prozessor for the first time. But there are some problems. Maybe you have run in similar problems and could help:
1. Sound works, but, SPDIF seems dead. In Audiosettings I cannot choose Spdif
2. With the board comes the Realtek RTL8125. With towos experimental kernel 5.9.1 it works finally, but slowly with only 100Mbit. Kerneldriver r8169 seems to be in use.
If you need more date, please tell me.Thanks for any help

So, I tried until now the following:
I installed the driver from the realtek page:
described here.
https://ubuntu-mate.community/t/realtek-rtl8125-2-5gbe-ethernet-not-working-on-amd-b550-mobo/22469
I got then:

Kernel driver in use: r8169
Kernel modules: r8169, r8125
--- End code ---
It seems I have to blacklist realtek-r8169 driver.
So I created a realtek.conf file in /etc/modprobe.d
--- Code: ---# Do not load the module on boot.
blacklist r8169
--- End code ---
After reboot I got the same.

so I am still running with 100 Mbit/s :(

I am not an expert on this, but may be you need to update-initramfs https://community.hetzner.com/tutorials/installing-the-r8168-driver
--- Quote ---Debian/Ubuntu
After installing the driver, update the module dependencies.
depmod -a
First the r8169 network driver needs to be blocked, so as to prevent the kernel from loading it. Note: If additional NICs are installed in the server, the driver must not be blocked.
Ubuntu/Debian 6.0 (Squeeze):
echo "blacklist r8169" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
Next, the kernel must be forced to include the driver in the initrd. This also ensures that if additional NICs have been installed the new r8168 module is loaded before the r8169 module.
echo "r8168" >> /etc/initramfs-tools/modules
Afterwards the initrd will be rebuilt.
update-initramfs -v -t -u
Now you can reboot the server.
After a kernel update the driver might need to be recompiled.

Lanzi:
Thanks jure for qour quick answer. There is some progress
I did like in yourdescription:
install driver
depmod -a
blacklist r8169
added r8125 to /etc/initramfs-tools/nodules
update-initramfs -v -t -u
and reboot...
I checked and the Kernel driver in use is r8125!

BUT: my speed is still 100Mbit/s :P
der_bud:
How did you measure that speed, did you use some speedtest tool or tranfer big files over network-connection? If you just used inxis output I am not sure if it does test the real speed or only shows what it thinks the module reports. What ist the output of
--- Code: ---ethtool enp4s0
--- End code ---
And how is the LAN connected, to a router or switch that is Gigabit-capable at the port used?
