I have a Gigabyte GA-K8N51GMF-9 motherboard; this board has a Realtek
ALC880 chip. I'm also running a gentoo 2.6.13-r3 kernel. After I
managed to find the ALSA device driver 'package' on the Realtek site,
and got it working, I still couldn't get any sound out of
Mythtv... I
had the sound device set to 'ALSA:default', and the mixer to
'default'.
I finally decided to try changing the source code in
audiooutputalsa.cpp
and change the code that was specifying 'Master' to instead specify
'Front'. Lo and behold, sound now works in mythtv.
I don't know how/why the alsamixer for the snd-hda-intel device I
has a
'Front' and no 'Master' control..... all I know is that it
doesn't work
the way it is, and my change made it work....
How would I suggest to the mythtv 'development guy(s)' that this
might
be a good addition? Or was there an easier way to fix/change what
I had?
the ALC880 should work fine with the regular intel AC'97 ALSA
driver. Did
you use the .asoundrc that floats around? audiooutputalsa.cpp is
correct
in using Master, it is more compatible with how things are supposed to
work, you then use .asoundrc to "fix" for your issue.
Steve
I understand that audiooutputalsa.cpp is correctly coded, but since I
didn't (don't) know the ins/outs of alsa, and the asoundrc file, I
'patched' the code and was able to make progress... But now that I've
been shown the errors of my ways, I'd like to go 'back' to the right
way
of doing things... Does anyone have a sample/example asoundrc file that
I can use to 'change' the interface of my snd-hda-intel sound 'mixer'
from 'Front' to 'Master', or even better, to ''add' a Master that would
change the level of Front, Surround, Center, and LFE?
did you try the snd_intel8x0 driver(along with the snd_ac97 drivers)?
I use it with my ALC650 and ALC850 mobo's.
as well, from what I understand, by default, the Master is the, well,
master volume control, with front, surround, etc all being relational
controls under the master control. Did you try raising the front
volume all the way and using master after that?
Steve
I have an ASUS mb with ALC680 and the only thing that worked for me
was alsa 1.0.10rc2 with the 1.0.10rc1 mixer (and I just saw that
1.0.10 was just released yesterday...).
Plus in the rc2 driver you actually have control over all channels and
the mode of the card 6 or 8 channel.

I've tried loading the snd_intel8x0 driver from a number of ALSA
versions, none work... I downloaded also 1.0.10, and that one doesn't
work either. The only set of drivers that I can get to work I got
from the Realtek website. They're 'labeled'
realtek-linux-audiopack-3.5-1, and inside that (unpacked) dir is
alsa-driver-1.0.9b_21.tar.bz2, alsa-utils-1.0.9a.tar.bz2, and
alsa-lib-1.0.9.tar.bz2. With the snd-hda-intel driver modprobed 'on',
I can bring up alsamixer, otherwise I get an error..... Now at least
one 'odd' thing is that before I tried the upgrade to alsa 1.0.10, I
could see and set a 'PCM' slider in the alsamixer (or set it via
amixer), but now that doesn't show up anymore... All I get are:
Headphone, Front, Front Microphone, Surround, Center, LFE, Side, Line,
CD, Mic, Capture, Capture 1, Capture 2, Input Souce, Input Source 1 ,
Input Source 2, and SPDIF.
