Hello, i hope someone can help me with the following little problem ;-) Background: i bought an acer aspire 5520G notebook ago some weeks with pre installed vista. Within Vista i'm able to use the 3 jacks for 5.1, within linux not. I'm looking now for a way to use them in linux for that 5.1, too. On my Desktop Computer i can choose within alsamixer how many channels i want to use - on my notebook there's no such option. And it seems, that the digital output isn't listed within linux. i think (but i'm not sure) that there's a model missing - When i looked at the Codec Models i saw that there's "acer" and "acer-aspire". The Codec i'm using has only "acer", could it be that there's "acer-aspire" missing? i tried loading the module with model=acer and model=3stack. Question: 1. Do you know any way to get it working, that i can plugin speakers at all 3 jacks, to use it as 5.1? 2. Do you know, how to get the digital out/spdif thingy listed and possibly working? 3. any other information i could provide?
