Heres the datasheet: http://www.analog.com/en/audiovideo-products/audio-codecs/ad1988b/products/product.html
I think I've figured out whats going on, I think the stereo input pins are also used for 5.1 (or 7.1) surround sound. Which means that there must be a software configuration switch on the kernel side. So good news, If your inputs are working they should be able to switch from one to the other. In other words all I need to do is figure out a way of getting the stereo input to switch to surround sound output. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1120853 Title: card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: AD198x Analog [AD198x Analog] 5.1 surround sound unresposive or of poor quality To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/1120853/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
