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.

I say yes.

So, how can I help in supporting this chip.
