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.

Wow, my last post made suprisingly little sense, even to me.

After some thought, I really don't want to mess around with a 2.4 kernel
unless there is some easy way I can do it.

When I start up a livecd, it's just going to use whatever sound drivers
the livecd likes, yeah?

Then if I compile that old patched thing, I won't be able to modprobe the
patched version because the snd will already be loading. And since it's a
livecd I can't restart and have it used the compiled module either.

Is there an easy way of doing this without installing a 2.4 kernel on my
machine? I really don't want to have to partition and crud, I've wasted so
much time on this computer already and I've got everything working apart
from this sound.

You did apply the Intervideo patch to ALSA 1.0.9b, and not a newer version,
correct?
