P. Dunbar - The reason you need to manually specify the model=mb5 is that Kacper hasn't added the model number for MBP5,2 to the driver - only MBP5,1 - if you could provide the output of 'cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#0' then we can add it to the patch.
If the behaviour with the YouTube Dolby Test is the same under Linux now as Mac OSX then I would say this bug is fixed by this patch. -- Left speaker doesn't work, controls mixed up on Apple MacBook[Pro] (5,1) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/337314 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mactel Support, which is the registrant for Mactel Support.

In MacBook and MacBookPro 5,1 (aluminium, late 2008) the soundcard works out of the box only with headphones, and to turn speakers on it is necessary to manually set the 6 channels. In that case, sound is heard both on headphones and right and center speaker; the left speaker doesn't work yet.
