Hello, I have an Intel motherboard DP43TF. It has the following audio chipset: (according to lspci): 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) HD Audio Controller cat /sys/class/sound/card0/hwC0D2/vendor_name Realtek cat /sys/class/sound/card0/hwC0D2/chip_name ALC888 The motherboard has 3 jacks on the back (pink, green and blue and 2 jacks on the front of the case are connected to the mobo (pink and green). There's also an SPDIF output on the mobo (which I'll one day hook up to the videocard to get sound over hdmi if I understand the manuals correctly). So I'de guess the "model" for the snd-hda-intel should be 5stack-dig... but this model isn't available in ALC888 according to the manual. I found a python program "HDAAnalyzer" from Jaroslav Kysela and I can force all three connectors on the back to produce output. If I also force the model to 6stack-dig, I can playback 4 or 5.1 channel audio through pulseaudio, and with a bit of clicking in HDAAnalyzer, I can get 6 channels on the 3 jacks on the back of the pc (tested with speaker-test -c 6). My question: I suppose all this reconfiguring in HDAAnalyzer shouldn't be necessary to get surround sound working imho. I think there should be some way to add this specific "model" to the snd-hda-intel driver, so that it could be detected by default. Could this be done? (or has this been done and has that update not yet reached ubuntu 9.10?). greetings, Tom Mercelis ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
