Hi, due to lack of time: Just short notes.
- I consulted the mainboard manual to find out whether the sound chip is an Intel 6 series/C200 (according to lspci output) or a Realtek ALC 892 (according to alsa software). On the manual layout appears a square with ALC892. Therefore we deal with Aealtek audio hardware. - Audio Codec configuration is described for Windows Vista with a special software on a CD which was not passed to me. - The manual refers to two options in the BIOS for the soundchip, HD and AC97. I think a tested already both and found no difference. - One of the first attempts to get audio components working was downloading the latest sources for linux driver for ALC892 from Realtek homepage (but apparently coming from the ALSA project). They were version 5.18 from 2013/2014and contained two patches (named patch_realtek). I tried to compile them with the package linux-headers 6.12.111 but the compilation failed at some point. As i did not know how to compile only the patched sources I did not continue with this. - so far I only had a short look on the mails from user lists that Chris delivered links to and on the choice and prices of soundcards to insert in one of the PCI slots.
