That's the kind of stuff that would be great to know for somebody who wants
to troubleshoot something for the first time. Thanks.

That will be for somebody else to test I guess, I don't have the hardware -

Why not ALC1200_DIGOUT_NID? Or is it really specific to Asus P5Q?

The patch worked perfectly.

Thank you,
