Hi,

I'm having some issues, (and think I've discovered some bugs/ performance
features) in alsa with my card.

Certainly sound used to work on front stereo speakers with mode=auto in
ubuntu 9, but had to change to
model=mb5 and have severe stability issues (alsa no longer works, kernel
gets trashed) when I do things like try to change volume, and kde volume
changer doesn't work unless I use the mixer etc...

Also, this is the only model where I get sound, other models trash kernel
space etc...

With this model I can't unload the module as it says it's still in use even
with the sound app has terminated (didn't have this problem under ubuntu 9)

Have some dmesg dumps in a bug I filed (will dig it out).

Anyhow, I'm more than happy to have a crack at getting my sound card working
perfectly.

Oliver.

For starters....

alsa-info.sh is here.
