Summary:                    Realtek 861 card not functional using included alsa
drivers
Description: 
I am using the FC5 drivers to begin with.  The packages are labeled version
1.0.11rc2.  There are only a few options when I run alsamixer. Using the
stock drivers, I have these options:

Headphone switch
CD level
Mic level
Input Source switch(Mic/CD)

I compiled the 1.0.11rc5 drivers from source and rebooted. I now have
these channels when I run alsamixer:

Front switch
CD level
Mic level
Input Source switch(Mic/CD)

I tried compiling the 1.0.9 drivers from Realtek's website(said nothing
about the 861), but they did not build.  In fact, the install script
overwrote my asound libraries requiring a package replacement to get back
to a sane state.

Please let me know if there is something more I can provide.

GOOD NEWS: There is some version of snd-intel-hda which can produce sound
with this notebook. Bundled with my notebook there was some CD-ROM labled
with "Intervideo InstantOn"
(http://www.kefk.net/Linux/Distributionen/Speziell/InterVideo/index.asp).
It contains some mini Linux for quickly playing media files without
booting a full operating system.

The file C:\InstantON\lib_main contains a MIMIX filesystem containing this
version of snd-intel-hda.ko:

/tmp/m31/alsa-driver-1.0.9b_24a/pci/hda/../../alsa-kernel/pci/hda/hda_intel.c;
compiled for "2.6.13 SMP preempt 686 gcc-3.4".

Checksums:

eee42797c5a4b11d04ac61de26b7ab51  snd-hda-codec.ko
c16bdc4c3f6bc1d77dae76bd752efffc  snd-hda-intel.ko

Now we just have to tell Intervideo to give us their version of
alsa-driver-1.0.9b_24a :-)

I have contacted someone with Intervideo OEM sales dept. She is going to
try and get me in contact with someone in their engineering department. 
If there is any problem with that, I have the main contact for their legal
department. Seeing as how these drivers are released under the gpl, they
are legally obligated to provide source code for their modifications.
