Hello!

I have an asus a8jn laptop and a integrated audio with Analog Devices AD1986A chip.

$ lspci -vnn 0:1b.0 Audio device [0403]: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller [8086:27d8] (rev 02) Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Unknown device [1043:1447] Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 21 Memory at febfc000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K] Capabilities: <access denied>

The audio seems to work properly on the right channel, but not on the left. All I get on the left channel is a loud screeching noise followed by a pop when the audio turns off. The microphon jack don't work also.

I make a patch from the solution described in this http://mailman.alsa-project.org/pipermail/alsa-devel/2007-March/000093.html message:

return 0; }

I don't know, why snd_hda_check_board_config() return wrong value, but that workaround works.

Thanks! Dmitry Ursegov
