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.

Alex Wu(Tung-Peng) from InterVideo send me their variant of the ALSA driver
today. Got it working using some crude hacks. Going to create a proper
patch (which is non-trivial considering the amount of changes Realtek made
for InterVideo).

Hi

I have the same problem  with a new laptop (atech) with the same audio
hardware, lspci gives me lspci:
Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller
(rev 02)

I'm Using suse 10.1 wich uses almost the last alsa-driver, (rc4 i think)
but i tried with the last. I opened the driver and saw the posibilities:
auto, last... but none of them worked. 
If can i help making any tests or whatever, don't doubt, just ask.
