Problems with soundcard based on Realtek ALC860 audio codec

[Serhiy Kachanuk <serzholino@gmail.com>]

Hi!

I've got no answer at alsa-users, I'm posting this here:

I have motherboard with Intel 915PL Express Chipset with integrated
builtin audio subsystem based on Realtek ALC860 audio codec.

I use Kubuntu 5.10 Breezy Badger as my operating system and having
problems with this integrated soundcard. Original alsa from distribution
- 1.0.9a was totally unable to find my sound system. I have to disable
hotplug to make system boot. When I upgraded alsa to 1.0.10 and enabling
hotplug, soundcard became  recognized, modules for hda-intel loaded at
boot time, but I still have no sound :(. Kmix shows my soundcard as
Realtek880, but it is 860 and alsamixer and alsactl both printing errors
and not starting/working.

Is my soundcard supported? What do I need to make my sound system work
on Linux?

Thanks.
