Hi, I hope this is the right place to report this. Computer: laptop Acer Aspire 1640Z distro: Debian etch kernel: 2.6.17 lspci 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 04) lspci -nv 00:1b.0 0403: 8086:2668 (rev 04) Subsystem: 1025:009e Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 177 Memory at d000c000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K] Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2 Capabilities: [60] Message Signalled Interrupts: Mask- 64bit+ Queue=0/0 Enable- Capabilities: [70] Express Unknown type IRQ 0 Capabilities: [100] Virtual Channel Capabilities: [130] Unknown (5) I've tried model=acer and acer-aspire to no avail. I notice in dmesg after trying 'modprobe snd-hda-intel model=acer' this: hda_codec: Unknown model for ALC882, trying auto-probe from BIOS... but alsamixer shows: Card: HDA Intel Chip: Realtek ALC883 at the top. There seems to be uncertainty about which model number, 882 or 883. I wonder if this is the source of the difficulty.
