Robert, > I thought my ALSA version is 1.0.16If would read 1.0.16 if you additionally compiled and installed theversion 1.0.16 alsa-utils package, as Version is read from the utilityaplay, whose ungrade was not included with that of the drivers It seems that the core problem is that the ALC861VD Analog chipset isnot yet adequately supported by the ALSA code. Go tohttps://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/login_page.php and file abug report. Include the specific of your System: Class 0403: 8086:284b, Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H,PCIDEV=8086:284b, with ALC861VD Analog audi0SUBSYS=17aa:384e with modem chip 0x10573055Problem - modem subsystem not detected by version 1.0.16 snd-hda-intel When there is a fix it will be reported to you and/or they may ask youto do tests.Without your specific hardware, there is little benefit from my beingin the loop.
