I am having a similar problem, that I would like to see taken care of. I have the same chipset, but I am able to play audio just fine in ALSA. The real issue for me is that OSS does not work.
cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp Does exactly nothing. It acts like it's working, but no audio plays. Any app that uses OSS, be it an SDL application, or XMMS, is completely silent. Furthermore, I have no volume slider for the master control in ALSA. It's a switch... not a slider. I have attached my sound information... please let me know what I can do to help get this resolved. -- No sound with Intel HDA/Realtek ALC861 https://launchpad.net/bugs/44814 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
