i would like to to comment on the OP message here. he wrote you need to compile alsa and force the model within the alsa-base.conf file. this is incorrect.
if you compile the newer alsa kernel drivers and install those drivers into /lib/$(uname -r)/ it is not necessary to force the model. if you force the model it is not necessary to compile the alsa kernel drivers. in the post linked to by the OP i have provided links to when various commits occurred within the alsa kernel driver. this all got off track when a user was using the spdif header on the midpoint of the mobo and got the output nid changed to 0x10 from 0x06. I am on vacation this week so am I am away from the mobo in discussion, but will be willing to help whatever I can from memory. next week I can provide log outputs . etc. -- [REGRESSION] Mobo Asus P5Q * needs newer Alsa to work again SPDIF https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/352556 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
