I see that something is going on the list and that people which solved a lot of problems with AD1986A chip are active on the list, but there were no answers on this topic.

I am sorry if I posted this to the wrong list(s), but I would really appreciate any hints to solve the problem with my sound.

Sound is muting as soon as I change volume, and I tried a few different patches. I am loosing ideas and sometimes alse motivation.

Thanks for any hints, ideas, help, whatever.

Firstly, I don't have the same board. Similar, but different.

I have an Asus A8N-VM CSM board, but it has the same AD1986A chip on it. I didn't have the same issue with sound muting, but I did have issues with surround (it just didn't work). I don't remember the details of how

thanks for your try. it helped partly ... I tried 3 patches (incl. yours) and only yours helped partly at least. I patched Alsa 1.0.15rc3.

Sound mutes as soon as I change volume, and I can only rmmod/modprobe snd-hda-intel to get it back.

But Surround is working with your patch as I can see: "speaker-test -Dplug:surround51 -c6 -t waw" recognizes correctly all speakears.

"speaker-test -c6 -t waw" does not recognize the speakers correctly, but it probably should not, or ?!

MythTv is playing stereo files only on the right speakers. I do not now is this a MythTv or Alsa problem. probably MythTv and I should create a .asoundrc which should correct this somehow.

I did not try hg, because I thought that Alsa 1.0.15rc3 is very new.

Thanks.
