We may be getting somewhere. I fished out an audio cable for my cdrom drive, to see if my cd input would work on my mobo, perhaps using the existing controls on alsamixer, but no go. So then I looked at the different model options for my ALC662/Azalia codec, and added the following one in my /etc/modprobe.conf options snd-hda-intel index=0 model=3stack-dig index=0 was already there, as part of the auto soundcard detection on Fedora 8. A reboot, and wonder of wonders, I now have a cd slider in alsamixer, and the audio cd plays using the audio cable plugged into the cd skt on the mobo. There are a whole bunch of model options for the ALC883/888 as below. ALC883/888 3stack-dig 3-jack with SPDIF I/O 6stack-dig 6-jack digital with SPDIF I/O 3stack-6ch 3-jack 6-channel 3stack-6ch-dig 3-jack 6-channel with SPDIF I/O 6stack-dig-demo 6-jack digital for Intel demo board acer Acer laptops (Travelmate 3012WTMi, Aspire 5600, etc) acer-aspire Acer Aspire 9810 medion Medion Laptops medion-md2 Medion MD2 targa-dig Targa/MSI targa-2ch-dig Targs/MSI with 2-channel laptop-eapd 3-jack with SPDIF I/O and EAPD (Clevo M540JE, M550JE) lenovo-101e Lenovo 101E lenovo-nb0763 Lenovo NB0763 lenovo-ms7195-dig Lenovo MS7195 haier-w66 Haier W66 6stack-hp HP machines with 6stack (Nettle boards) 3stack-hp HP machines with 3stack (Lucknow, Samba boards) 6stack-dell Dell machines with 6stack (Inspiron 530) mitac Mitac 8252D auto auto-config reading BIOS (default) You may have to just try some of them. For me the 3stack-dig refers to 2 channel output with spdif, and think 3stack refers to having 3 jack skts on the soundcard. See how it goes, and if you do get a cd slider on alsamixer, and have an audio cable for the cdrom drive, try that out with an audio cd first, as saw some gloomy stuff about sound on Tv cards, mind you I had to mess about with options to get sound working on my TV card.
