Hi Marc,

No, I tested the ubuntu mainline kernel builds, like Dhiru sugegsted.
 - With the version 4.4.0rc2 the "DSP is downloaded and running"; but I get no sound.
 - With the version 4.4.0rc3 the "DSP is downloaded and running" as well, but still no sound.

In the mean time, I have enabled the onboard sound and also inserted in the PCI slot available on the MB an old Audigy 2 (SB0240) card I had lying around.

Here is the DMESG output I get with kernel 4.4.0rc3 from the ubuntu mainline:

Some things I notice right away:
- ca0132 downloaded and running, but no sound
- the ALC 1150 is detected, configured, and there is sound coming out of the back port.
- the Audigy 2 is correctly detected (SB0240), but it detects an emu10k2 DSP, when in fact it's a CA0102 DSP (a more advanced emu10k2).
- there is no pin configuration for the Audigy 2 (just for the ALC1150, and for the CA0132)

Since I would like to get the ca0132 running in the ubuntu mainline build (not some phoronix build), do you have any hints what I should do next to try to get it to work?

PS: if all else fails, I will also try the phoronix build you suggested, but I really would like to stick with the Ubuntu build...
