Ok, is there anything I can do?

Yes, we need to modify a script and add a card profile, can you manage editing with nano?
If so, do amixer -c 1 and post the results.
Then I will prepare two small fixes and give you the details.
Yes can use nano. Can I use ssh? What are the credentials for putty
name:volumio and pass:volumio and ip of device
yes, go to the dev page (http://“your-ip”/dev) and activate the ssh server.
Credentials see above.
Edit
To know the internal C-Media card device names, could you run this script to verify?

Please make modifications in
/usr/local/bin/volumio_hda_intel_tweak.sh and /volumio/app/plugins/audio_interface/Alsa_controller/cards.json
volumio_hda_intel_tweak.sh
Using “sudo nano”, replace case
"Realtek ALC892"|"Realtek ALC898"|"Realtek ALC1220")
by
"Realtek ALC892"|"Realtek ALC898"|"Realtek ALC1220"|"C-Media Generic")
cards.json
Using “sudo nano”, after the line with
{"name": "HDA ATI SB"
carefully insert a new line with these contents (take care not to make typos, otherwise Volumio will not start)
{"name": "HDA C-Media", "multidevice": true, "devices":[{"number":0, "prettyname": "C-Media Analog Out", "defaultmixer": ""},{"number":1, "prettyname": "C-Media SPDIF/Toslink", "defaultmixer": ""}]},
Then reboot and test 
If this works, I will add it to the standard x64 image build for the next release.
Not quite sure where I should replace

Ok, did you choose “C-Media SPDIF/Toslink” from the playback options drop-down? And did it work?
It appears as if the latest version was not pushed yet, sorry.
So in your case, just replace strings
"HDA Intel PCH”)
by
"HDA Intel PCH”|"HDA C-Media")
and
"Realtek ALC892”)
by
"Realtek ALC892”|"C-Media Generic")
(just use normal double quotes, formatting here is a bit mixed-up)
ok changed the second file
here the changes
btw, I use winscp to modify files, find that is a lot more comfortable and safe when typing
#!/bin/bash

whatever gets the job done;)
Does it work though?
Note, when you copy longer text or scripts, start and end with a ``` line, makes it more readable.
Right, rebooted. Sadly no signal, also no red light in the port.
I will boot the pc with a windows harddisk and make sure the card is working.
You can also try a manual unmute like this
amixer -c 1 set IEC958 unmute
amixer -c 1 set Master "75%" unmute
and if that does not help, open “alsamixer”, switch sound card to C-Media with F6 and check if there is anything to manipulate there.
volumio@volumiopc:~$ amixer -c 1 set IEC958 unmute

It gives this error
Here the Alsamixer output
Ok, now it gives an output. A Hires recording played, but it was scratchy. I have added a source with normal cds with 44,1 khz. Once these are raed I will try again
I have no idea what your C-Media soundcard is capable of, and there is nothing else I can set/unset.
You could try webradio in the meantime, Radio Paradise (flac+) for instance…
