Just had a user in #alsa on freenode, with an Asus P5GD1 mainboard. They couldnt seem to get surround sound working at all. It has an ALC880 based HDA-Intel sound device on board.
Now, the problem lies in the Susbsystem ID's (1043:814e). These match in patch_realtek.c as follows:
SND_PCI_QUIRK(0x1043, 0x814e, "ASUS", ALC880_ASUS)
The users mainboard (The ASUS P5GD1) actually has 6 output jacks, aswell as SPDIF, not the standard 3-jacks that the "ASUS" model quirk implies.
I talked this user through forcing the driver to use '6stack-digout' for his sound device, and things all work fine now.
Actually, this was changed originally from ALC880_5STACK for the exactly same mobo (changeset 4798). I guess 6stack-digout wasn't tested by that user.
So, if 6stack-digout is confirmed to match better than now, it's fairly safe to replace the line. Care to send a patch with a proper changelog?

As previously mentioned, it appears the HG code has an entry for the "ASUS P5GD1" mainboard. But its onboard sound vendor/device Ids dont match those of the person i was helping. I have double checked the pastebin post, and confirmed the mainboard model with the user though.
The _original_ alsa-info.sh run (before the model was forced to 6stack-digout) is as follows..
There it shows the vendor/device ids as 0x1043, 0x814e . So according to the current HG code, those IDs would select the "asus" model. Also, in the same, current HG code, we have..
SND_PCI_QUIRK(0x1043, 0x8196, "ASUS P5GD1", ALC880_6ST)
This shows the correct model name for the mainboard, but (from my experience) wrong vendor/device ids.
Perhaps we have to check with the person who originally added that P5GD1 quirk ?
I have made up a patch, but want to confirm all this information before proceeding. Please let me know your thoughts.
