And 6 channels is now working perfectly. I have also tried the early patch method, and that works too!
Thanks again for all your help.
Hi David
Just a quick follow up on this. I have found the volume on the output jacks to be quite soft. 100% (master, front, clfe, surround) volume in alsamixer gives the same volume as 60% percent using a soundblaster card (driver CA0106). Is it a known issue with realtek ALC888 hardware that the output volume is generally lower? Or perhaps there is some "gain" setting I can use for the pin config?
Answering as a layman - make sure there are no other volume controls you need turn up. There is also the -10 dBv <=> +4 dBu difference, could be that your old card had the other voltage reference. Other than that, I don't know.
