However, it My manual says it's an ICH5R. The board is pretty new. The datasheet for the ALC850 codec claims it can do 8 channel sound. Thus I have just made a check (under windows) by playing back an 8 channel wav. All eight channels are clearly present on the 4 stereo 3.5mm (onboard jacks). Further the S/PDIF connector is the same as the first two channels (front l/r). So I conclude I have a true 8 channel codec. > However, it might be possible that the chip needs some configuration > bit to be set that the driver doesn't yet know about. I say yes. So, how can I help in supporting this chip.
