Hi, I'm running Gentoo stable with kernel 2.6.27 (I think it comes with alsa 1.0.17) on my brand-new Intel DG45ID motherboard (hda-intel, therefore). I'm trying to get analogue out on all the correct channels, but it seems that something is slightly wierd: if I unmute headphones only, the front channel works, otherwise it seems that the front channel is split all over the place (I can provide more specific details if requested).
I tried alsa-driver-1.0.18rc3 as well (keeping alsa-lib and alsa-utils the old version), but the headphones control disappeared: I could not find any equivalent settings to enable front speakers.
Now, to the questions:
1) Can I help fix the pinout information in ALSA? I'm willing to experiment (especially if I can do it against 1.0.17). 2) Is there a doc somewhere that describes a step-by-step method to add a quirk to the codec (IDT 92HD73E1X5, I presume) for my board? 3) Would the problem be fixed if I update alsa-libs and alsa-utils to 1.0.18rc3, or is the problem only in the hda-intel kernel driver?
I've got moderate kernel-hacking skills: I can compile, patch, debug minor stuff, etc, I've got ready access to the hardware and I'm willing to experiment! I DON'T have experience with ALSA or audio drivers, and since the PC is at home, I can only hack after hours. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
