No sound from optical port (S/PDIF out - Realtek ALC 4080) with MSI MAG X570S Edge Max Wifi Mother Board

ALSA data shows onboard audio device has the same hardware ID [1462:ed53] as this bug report:

MPG X570S EDGE MAX WIFI compatibility · Issue #172 · alsa-project/alsa-ucm-conf · GitHub

31:00.4 Audio device [0403]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD] Starship/Matisse HD Audio Controller [1022:1487]
	Subsystem: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd. [MSI] Starship/Matisse HD Audio Controller [1462:ed53]

But the Motherboard on the other system has a later Firmware Version: 1.31

I suggest you update motherboard BIOS to latest version available from manufacturer
Firmware update might include better support for onboard audio
