Comment 14 for bug 352556

I looked over the current alsa-driver source for Ubuntu Karmic and this issue is not resolved.
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/+source/alsa-driver/1.0.19.dfsg-3ubuntu1

this is from my memory and reviewing the current code. It should be used as a guide to solving this issue,
not a step by step fix.

the quick fix is in file /alsa-driver-1.0.19.dfsg/alsa-kernel/pci/hda/patch_realtek.c

around line 7118 is as follows #define ALC1200_DIGOUT_NID 0x10
change the 0x10 to 0x06 and compile and install
this will disable the mid board spdif and enable the rear spdif

the permanent fix is to update the alsa-driver
the latest snapshots of the alsa driver ,alsa-driver-1.0.20.0.g75fc7.0.gfb064
should work out of the box as definitions have been added to the patch_realtek.c
to define "slave_dig_outs"

How do I go about getting this bug assigned to Karmic ??

thanks
