Hello, I'm trying to get the soundcard on my motherboard working. It's the Gigabyte GA-73PVM-S2H board which has an nForce630i chipset. The manual states that the board is using a Realtek ALC889A codec, the exact text is below: Audio - Realtek ALC889A codec - High Definition Audio - 2/4/5.1/7.1-channel Support for S/PDIF In/Out Support for CD in I'm using Gentoo with kernel 2.6.23 and the alsa-driver-1.0.15 release to compile the snd-hda-intel module. I've tried with different model= parameters when modprobing, but that didn't help. I always get the following error: mythbox ~ # aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Noise.wav ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:833:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to create IPC semaphore aplay: main:546: audio open error: Function not implemented When I try with -D hw:0,0 I get the following: mythbox ~ # aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Noise.wav -D hw:0,0 Playing WAVE '/usr/share/sounds/alsa/Noise.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 48000 Hz, Mono aplay: set_params:906: Channels count non available What I noticed when loading the module, it appears that the module detects a wrong codec: ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:09.0[A] -> Link [AAZA] -> GSI 22 (level, low) -> IRQ 17 PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:00:09.0 to 64 hda_codec: Unknown model for ALC882, trying auto-probe from BIOS...

Maybe I'm just overlooking something...
