Hello everyone,
I'm currently trying to get the ALC883 on the Albatron KI690-AM2 motherboard working under ALSA and I'm running into problems with some of the ports. From looking at the patch_realtek.c file inside the intel_hda driver, it appears there are many variants of hookups to this chipset which all require some manual configuration in the driver. I've tried what appears to be the closest match (ALC883_6ST_DIG or 6stack-dig), but it still does not enable all of the ports.
The motherboard webpage is here: http://www.albatron.com.tw/English/product/mb/pro_detail.asp?rlink=Specifica...
The board has two audio stacks on the back panel. Facing the jack inputs, the left-hand stack contains: <S/PDIF output> <TOSLINK w/ green cover>
Next to that stack is a larger 6-stack with the following configuration: <blue> <black> <green> <pink> <grey> <TOSLINK w/ pink cover>
The box is running a stock debian 2.6.18-4-486 kernel.
First of all, try the very latest ALSA version (from HG repo) if you want to debug HD-audio stuff. It's the most actively changed part in ALSA drivers. 2.6.18 is way too old as a reference. Also you should build the driver with debug option (in the case of alsa-driver tree, pass --with-debug=full to configure).
If the latest version still doesn't work (with all available models), then check /proc/asound/card0/codec#* files.
(Anyway, I'll be on vacation from tomorrow, so cannot work on your problem. Hopefully this will interest other guys...)
