I have a question about ALC1200 which is used by ASUS in P5Q motherboard. Unfortunately I have that board and problems with spdif output ( simply no light, it's not a problem with mute/unmute IEC958 ). ALC1200 is recognized as ALC883, below more details.
Realtek don't publish specification for that chip because it was made for Asus request. From what i gathered, 1200 is 890 in disguise, but I'm not sure about that.
I would like to know if there is any chance to add support in alsa driver for that kind of codec in the near future ? I will be very grateful for any help or suggestion.
Best regards, Norbert
