Hi Graeme.
Ok. So far so good.
I've just seen the same errors above, while Googling on that Mitac (unknown
device) 8227, that shows up on lspci for your soundcard. Will you run the
command below.
grep ^Codec /proc/asound/card?/codec*
You should see 2 codecs. ALC883 (The correct one for the snd-hda-intel
module), and also ALC268, which appears to be something to do with this
Mitac 8227 component on the card.
The fix on the Ubuntu forum (french), was to patch the alsa driver, but the
instructions are for Ubuntu Hardy Heron, and that has alsa driver 1.0.16,
which is the same as the installed driver on F9, before you upgraded it.
Link to the frech Ubuntu forum below.
http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/audio_intel_hda
Now it may be that the model=medion option is the wrong one, and I see from
the very sparce specs for your machine on the Medion site, that your card
provides 6 channels plus digital out. It's possible that the alsa
development folks have already applied a patch on the 1.0.18a driver that
you now have, but it's just the model option which is wrong.
Would you try the following one.
options snd-hda-intel model=3stack-6ch-dig
The same forum page for the fix above shows that as an option for the
Medion MD96367, where both ALC883, and ALC268 codecs are detected. It's not
your model, but worth a try.
If that produces no changes in Alsamixer, we may have to ask the Alsa dev
folks. It's possible that the 1.0.18a driver has had the necessary patch
applied since 1.0.18a was released, and there are nightly snapshots of the
driver available, which include the latest patches.
Anyway. Try the above model option first.

Hi Nigel,
Yes, I bought my Medion back on 20/3/2008.
The output of the following shows 3 Codecs, 0-2.
[graeme@flintstone ~]$ grep ^Codec /proc/asound/card?/codec*
/proc/asound/card0/codec#0:Codec: Realtek ALC883
/proc/asound/card0/codec#1:Codec: LSI ID 1040
/proc/asound/card0/codec#2:Codec: Realtek ALC268
[graeme@flintstone ~]$
model=3stack-6ch-dig brings things back to square one, nothing.
model=mitac gives the same as model=medion.
I managed to bring up the attached error dialogue while I was fiddling.
It may mean something to you.
I can configure Kmix, get Amarok running and start playing a CD but no
sound from the speakers or the front headphone jacks.
Alsamixer and amixer still do not work. Same errors as before. alsaconf
is not on my system so I cannot try it. I thought it was in alsa-utils.
I can't find my weekly brochure from the Aldi for your laptop, but it seems to
have been available from Mar 20 2008, which is way back. On Ubuntuforums,
some guy named RenZo has provided a patch to resolve the problem, but this
was back in May 3rd 2008, link below.
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=747054&page=3
Bear in mind that the patch would be for alsadriver 1.0.16 on Ubuntu Hardy.
I'm not suggesting using RenZo's patched module, as I'd have thought that by
now the alsa developers would have also patched the driver, but RenZo does
say to use. options snd-hda-intel model=mitac
Worth a try, and if it doesn't work we pester the Alsa developers for a patch.
A good idea I think. Thanks for the continuing help. Much appreciated.
Between us we will get this beggar working :-)
