[Description Hong Guan 2006-10-21 05:35:32 UTC]

Hi,

I am using alsa 1.0.13 which reportedly has alc883 support for acer.

I have installed alsa-driver-1.0.13 with ALSA_CARDS="hda-intel", together with alsa-lib-1.0.13.

Hi,

I forgot one thing. PCM does not show up on alsamixer. 

Many thanks.

Please try with latest version of alsa-driver, unfortunately the HDA driver is still incomplete. If they still won't work, please report it upstream.
