I hope this doesn't show up twice.  I accidentally sent it to 
alsa-user-request first :(

Hello all, I'm having a problem with the AD1984 chipset on version 
1.0.23.  I was runnning 1.0.16 and it was working fine.  Then I had to 
upgrade to 1.0.23 to get support for alc889.  However I went to 
regression test on older platforms and discovered that it is  no longer 
working with the AD1984 chip whereas previously it was working but the 
ALC889 now works.  I really need both to work.  Here is what I've tried 
so far:

- Checked mixer settings Master is max, PCM is max, all playback devices 
are max.
- blacklisted pcsp module
- tried alsamixer -Dhw just in case but it didn't show me anything I 
hadn't already seen.

I noticed after every reboot I have to go back in the mixer and turn up 
the PCM volume control as it keeps resetting back to 0 for some reason.
aplay always just plays as thought it isn't a problem but no sound is 
produced.  I've tested the speakers and I know they work.  The volume is 
turned up all they way on them.

The O/S base is Fedora Core 8 (dated I know but I can't upgrade it right 
now.)  Previously I had 1.0.16 rpms installed.  On the new system I 
removed the RPMs, installed all the 1.0.23 packages, and added an audio 
group with id 16 and then it worked.  I did the same on the Optiplex 755 
with the AD1984 and it did not work and still does not work even though 
I am not getting any errors from the module when it loads nor any audio 
application...

I'm about pulling my hair out here on this one.  Any assistance would be 
greatly appreciated and many thanks for the sound support in linux!!
