I have Gygabyte GA-Z97-D3H. I assumed motherboard will work in Linux out of the box, without problems - what a stupid assumption.
Sound was cracking and distorsion. After adding /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf options snd-hda-intel vid=8086 pid=8ca0 snoop=0 speakers are working but there are two problems: - after inserting front mic/headphones, the sound stop going out to speakers (back connector), although in Ubuntu settings I set it to go to both - microphone is still distorted. Every 3-4 seconds or so there is a "tick" and it annoyed my skype connection Thefore this "fix" still has some problems :-(. Pitty I bought this motherboard, if I was aware of the problem I'd bought another older motherboard without PCI M.2 If someone knows how to solve the problem with microphone shoot, in the meantime I'll plug USB microphone/headphone to see if it could fix the problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1321421 Title: 8086:8ca0 Sound output distorted/unusable with Intel Z97/H97 Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: I get horribly cracking sound and distortion with my ne AS Rock Fatal1ty H97 Performance Mainboard.
