Oh, that's an unexpected problem.

Right now, snd-hda-intel driver is designed for a single device.
I wrote it so because I thought the device is only for on-board.
But now, ATI ships the graphic card with the extra sound
controller, and this conflicts.

So, we need a major change in the driver code to allow multiple
devices.  OK, I'll hack it so that it can go to 2.6.25 kernel...

Meanwhile, did you try any model option for ALC883 (check
ALSA-Configuration.txt for the available values)?  If none of them
matches well, we'd need to develop a new model.

thanks,

Takashi
