Spdif out not working.

Hello forums, 

Recently I bought a new set of headphones which require a spdif out for them to work. As I was trying to get my headphones to produce sound, I realized that there was no light being produced from the motherboard or sound card for the optical cable. I spent hours and hours trying to find out why it won't work, checking my bios, removing and re-installing drivers and searching the web if anyone else has this problem. Nothing, if anyone can help it would be much appreciated.
