Hi list, I'm writing here to expose some issues that I encountered using alsa with the Asus M2N-MX motherboard. All tests I am reporting here have been done both with 2.6.19 and 2.6.20.rc5 kernels (the latter using alsa 1.0.14rc2 I suppose). First: the soundcard is not working properly, not even when manually configured. Second: the sound card is not properly configured/set up automatically. FIrst: The M2N-MX motherboard has 3 jacks on the rear (headphones out, line out, mic in), and a Front Panel Audio connector (10-1 PIN AAFP), where I plugged the headphones out and mic in, which are provided with my case. The only configuration which is acceptable (but NOT working) for me is to load the snd-hda-intel module with options: position_fix=1 model=3stack With this config I get correct output on the front panel headphones out, but no output is present on the two rear out ports. Moreover, with alsamixer I can change the volume of the headphones both by changing the headphones volume, or the PCM volume (like they were bounded together). I can't really understand the position_fix option (something regarding DMA), but for the model option, I read that 3stack was added for M2N-MX. However, it seems to me that still we have some issues with this motherboard. Second: Since a module parameter was added for this motherboard, it would be beautiful if this parameter was set automatically when the M2N-MX is used. Provided that it won't damage my hardware, I am willing to help to test things out, in order to make the driver working. Any help/suggestion/comment is welcome.
