Summary:                    Almost no sound on Asus laptop with Realtek ALC861
Description: 
I have almost no sound on my Asus A6RP-AP002 laptop. Almost because it can
be said that the sound is... 

But let me start from the beginning. 

I tried many things to get sound on my laptop. I tried alsa drivers from
realtek website, alsa 1.0.11 and latest drivers from HG. Alsa 1.0.11
examined my chipset properly - ALC861, other found it as ALC660. None of
them were working (no sound). 

2 days ago I downloaded latest 2.6.17.7 kernel and compiled it with
included alsa drivers (1.0.11rc4), sound chipset was examined properly,
but still nothing... 

I started using various options with snd-hda-intel module. 
Built-in speakers are not working with any of options
(model=3stack/3stack-dig/6stack-dig) but headphones are almost working...

With model=3stack I can hear sound with headphones but only when I plug
them into line-in jack. The sound is very very quiet and it's also with
crackling noise... (Volume is set to maximum level). 

With model=6stack-dig situation is almost the same, except that the
headphones are plugged into headphone jack and the same sound can be heard
in only one headphone (the second one is just silent).

The built-in microphone is working quite well (there is only not too loud
squeal during records).

Other options like posotion_fix=1/2 or single_cmd=1 are not changing
anything (with posotion_fix=2 Ubuntu is not loading, X hangs when the
login sound should be played).  

If anyone would like to help me and need any other information than those
placed in this post and in attached file, just ask for them and I'll
answer :)

Hope someone smart will know how to fix everything :)

If there is anything I could do to help you I'll do it, just tell me what
:) 

There would be no problem if the sound would just be in the other jack
than it sould be, but only if the sound would be good quality :P

I have tried to set all the ports as output and set the card to 8channel
mode. (with some hacking of the realtek patch). This means that the sound 
should appear  somewhere. I was only able to hear it from the mic jack. 
Another think i have noticed was, that the PC speaker output works, until
i first loade the driver. I think that the ALC861 might be configured the
right way by bios, and when the dirver loads it resets the codec to
default config. Resulting no sound (not even the beeping anymore). Any
ideas ?
