[alsa-devel] poor sound from ALC 850/880 in alsa 1.0.21 and 1.0.23

[Colin Kincaid Williams]

no, the motherboard has 6 plugs, but no digital outputs on the back.
Furthermore, I muted the CD channel, the line in was already muted,
but I still have crap sound compared to my $20 mp3 player. Something
else is wrong!
