Ok, the second codec is the HDMI port. For some reason, it is getting assigned to be primary sound device. Try "alsamixer -D hw:1.0" to see if it can control the realtek device. Oddly enough, I used to work at Intel as a contractor, developing audio drivers for their boards. They stopped supporting Linux when my contract ended. I'll see what I can do over the next couple of weeks.

I found out that when putting on headphones on a separate headphone jack I get some sound with both settings. Hoever, the front out l/r, center/bass sourround back l/r and side sourround l/r port remain silent. > > I set all channels to 80-100% in alsamixer. > > A few more details from my setup: > Shuttle XPC SG33G5M > Intel G33 Express + ICH9DH > > Interestingly, when I run alsamixer, it identifies the Chip as "Generic 1095 ID 1392", in other words in points to codec#1.
