I've got an ABit MAX-3 with the ALC650 chip controlled by the Intel ICH5 (R) as well. Playback through the front channel with ALSA works fine.
My problem is that the motherboard has 5 1/8th inch mini jacks on the back, and two of those can be configured as either input or output. One may be either Microphone 1 stereo input, or output the center channel and subwoofer channel. Another may be either a stereo line input, or output the rear surround channels. The gnome ALSA Mixer program shows options to set these (they appear as check boxes labelled "Line-In As Surround" and "Mic As Center/LFE") but selecting them doesn't seem to give me any extra output channels. With both of those checkboxes turned on, my /proc/asound/devices still shows: [EMAIL PROTECTED] thoffman]$ cat /proc/asound/devices 0: [0- 0]: ctl 20: [0- 4]: digital audio playback 27: [0- 3]: digital audio capture 26: [0- 2]: digital audio capture 25: [0- 1]: digital audio capture 16: [0- 0]: digital audio playback 24: [0- 0]: digital audio capture 33: : timer (Device 0-4 is the optical SPDIF output. I don't know if it works or not, I have nothing that can take optical inputs.) If anyone out there knows how to make my six-channel sound outputs actually work, I'd be deeply appreciative. Thanks!
