The card is there. The rear panel connectors work, and both mics are visible. aplay -l lists analog, digital, and two HDMI playback devices. aplay -L lists a bunch of PCMs, including a bunch of surround modes and a two-channel mode called front. Maybe that one should go to either the front-panel or back-panel jacks, but I don't know how to find out how that works. arecord -l lists two capture devices, ALC892 Analog and ALC892 Alt Analog. Are these the front and back mics? arecord -L strangely lists a default and a second input that is labelled Front speakers. How can I find out where this comes from? peter I'm currently playing music with configuration Analog Stereo Output (unplugged) and the only port I see is Line Out (unplugged) On 12/14/18 8:14 AM, Russell Treleaven wrote: > First thing is to do is verify that alsa sees the card. > `aplay -l` for playback devices and `aplay -L` for capture devices. > If alsa doesn't see it pulseaudio won't see it. > > On Fri, Dec 14, 2018 at 10:56 AM Peter F.
