Realtek 268

Realtek 268

[Steven Zakulec]

Hello ALSA developers, I have one of the Intel HDA cards that is not
supported currently: Realtek 268.

It was previously mentioned in May
(http://mailman.alsa-project.org/pipermail/alsa-devel/2007-May/000828.html).

The post seemed to imply it was not a terribly difficult task to add
support for the card, but was very vague on details.  If it is in fact
just a matter of copying an existing preset and changing the values, I
would probably try to do it myself.  If it is any more difficult than
that, I'd like to formally ask the developers if they could add any
support for the card.  The lspci and /proc/asound/codec info is
identical to that in the posting I mentioned.  If you need anymore
information, I would be happy to provide it.

Thank you!

The support of ALC268 is already in HG tree.  Give it a try.

I have tried the current (from about 6 hours ago) drivers+lib from the HG repository.
My card is now labelled as an ALC 268, and shows me what appears to be a correct number of options in the mixer.

Unfortunately, I still get no sound.

I've compiled the driver with --debug=full, and the lib with the debug.
The following is from dmesg when I removed the old snd-hda-intel module, did a make install, then did modprobe snd-hda-intel: (I cleared out dmesg before I did the modprobe)

I guess you didn't raise "Front Playback Volume" properly?
Attach the output of "alsactl -f somefile store".

Otherwise I don't see obvious failures.  Another possible fixup would
be EAPD or GPIO setup.
