Bharat, I have the Z5500 too, on an ACER laptop, with HDA Intel Audio chipset, and AC3 passthrough worked like a charm with 8.04. I followed the steps, up to 5, where I can't get any sound from ALSA in any case. Only OSS seems to work. What's worse, 'aplay l' only sees one card, analog, and the digital is nowhere to be seen, where in 8.04 there were two devices!! So, I guess no SPDIF sound any time soon. I installed the latest ALSA driver (1.0.18a) but nothing changed. This is really frustrating No tricks with the alsa-base file worked either, the line "options snd-hda-intel model=acer" was already there.
So, what is so dramatically different about sound handling in the new version? In every new version I tend to take things that worked for granted. -- [AO_ALSA] Unable to find simple control 'PCM' https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/276957 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
