[Alsa-user] p7H55 MoBo

[<jkf...@dd...>]

Good day,

I have bought an Asus P7H55-M Pro motherboard. It has a Realtek HD audio
chip on-board. Unfortunately, I'm not sure which version. Because some
websites say it is an ALC889, but
cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec
gives
Codec: Realtek ID 892

Nevertheless, the analog audio outputs works fine, but I can't get the
spdif output to work.

some more information:

I think I have to edit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf, so I add the option
"options snd-hda-intel model=6stack-dig". Unfortunately, no improvements.

Any more options I can try? Or do you need more information?

thanks in advance,
