Just updated to Intrepid Ibex Alpha5. No positive effects, however "normal" 2-channel downmixed digital and analog 5.1 output works...
a) mplayer -ao hwac3 does not work (silence) - used to work in hardy yesterday...
b) mythtv with "ac3 passthrough" activated gives ugly pulsating noise when switching to dvb-ac3 (used to be silence in hardy)
c) alsamixer in terminal only offers one single bar für pulse audio (no iec851 etc. ppp. selectors or the 2ch/6ch switch offered)
d) this is also funny, the asus pundit does not have an hdmi-interface nor any way to output 7.1 audio:
front:CARD=
HDA NVidia, ALC861 Analog
Front speakers
surround40:
HDA NVidia, ALC861 Analog
4.0 Surround output to Front and Rear speakers
surround41:
HDA NVidia, ALC861 Analog
4.1 Surround output to Front, Rear and Subwoofer speakers
surround50:
HDA NVidia, ALC861 Analog
5.0 Surround output to Front, Center and Rear speakers
surround51:
HDA NVidia, ALC861 Analog
5.1 Surround output to Front, Center, Rear and Subwoofer speakers
surround71:
HDA NVidia, ALC861 Analog
7.1 Surround output to Front, Center, Side, Rear and Woofer speakers
hdmi:CARD=
HDA NVidia
HDMI Audio Output
null
Discard all samples (playback) or generate zero samples (capture)
e) the entry "options snd-hda-intel model=3stack-dig" in /etc/modules.
f) kaffeine still has no option to activate ac3 passthrough (used to work automagically in hardy)
I would like to get rid of Pulse and set everything to "alsa" - however, again, when I do that the pc remains totally silent and purging pulse is not possible, as almost everything depends on it.
Need specific instructions how to track this down. But right now I am so frustrated, I am considering simply getting a new htpc and get rid of this alc861-chip...
