Working.

Driver: snd-hda-intel (Alsa)

[edit] How to tell if this is your card

# lspci |grep "HD Audio"
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02)

For general information on how to detect your sound card, see Category:Sound cards

Not all Intel HD audio are the same. A lot of bugs depends on the codec or the model. To tell what codec you have :

~> grep Codec /proc/asound/card0/codec*
/proc/asound/card0/codec#0:Codec: Realtek ALC268

In this case we have a Realtek ALC268

[edit] Notes

  1. You may need to correctly set the model parameter to the module to get all your sound card features. Try for example model=6stack-dig if you were expecting a digital out and couldn't find it on your mixer (it might show up as 'IEC958') - but there are a few different potential options for S/PDIF output.
  2. You can get the full list of models to try from /Documentation/sound/alsa/ALSA-Configuration.txt in your kernel source tree. You can find this file online here http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/sound/alsa/ALSA-Configuration.txt
