[Valerio tesei <valerio.tesei@gmail.com>]

Sorry for the intrusion,

I've a P7H55D-M Pro motherboard with an hda-intel realtek card (ALC892) i
open a ticket in alsa bugtracker and Raymond says me to post here.
My motherboard had 6 pinjack behind and optical output on it, from the
specification page on asus (
http://uk.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=qWmZUAdNKeozTOXb&templete=2 )

Realtek ALC892 8-Channel High Definition Audio CODEC
- BD Audio Layer Content Protection
- Support Jack-dectection, Multi-streaming,Front Panel Jack-Retasking (Mic
in port)
- ASUS Noise Filter
- Optical S/PDIF out ports at back I/O

>From 2.6.38 kernel i've got a lot of problems with it, sound cracky,
microphone doesnt work or work badly, no sound after a random time of use
and some other problems.
I'm now using 2.6.39-rc1 with kernel distribuited alsa build-in with kernel,

About my bios config
[Front Panel] = AC97
[SPDIF OUT] = SPDIF

my latest alsa info is http://valeriotesei.com/alsa/alsainfo

Let me know if i could help in some way, i'm not so skilled to help with
source code, but i could be a beta tester.

Sorry if i'm off-topic.

Hope this will help you.
