[alsa-devel] Acer Aspire 9810 hda-intel RealTek ALC883 no sound thru speakers only via SPDIF/Headphones.

[Adrian Grassi]

Hi guys, I have a Acer Aspire 9810 with hda-intel realtek ALC883 chipset
and no matter what version of alsa and ditribution I try I only get
sound thru the shared SPDIF/Headphone Jack.

This laptop has a built in 2.1 power speaker system which works fine
under windows but not in any linux distro's I have tried:

Ubuntu 7.04 - Kubuntu 7.04 - Suse 10.2 - Ubuntu Gutsy 7.10 Beta -
Mandriva Spring 2007.1

I think this is a configuration issue however I can't find any info
anywhere on how to fix it, I did find a few posts where several people
are having the same issue.

Can someone please shed some light on how to fix this issue, if any
additional information is needed please let me know, I have been trying
to solve this for over 5 days now and is driving me bananas.




Here is the aadebug from alsa-wiki:
