No sound with Intel ICH5(AD1980)
#1
I got a problem with my on-board sound-card. It is not playing any sound Rolleyes.

This are the facts:
I am using XBMCLive 9.11 alpha r24283
The Ubuntu version is 9.04
Asla is v1.0.21
The machine is a dell dimension 4600
The sound-card is detected as a Intel ICH5 with a chip Analog Devices AD1980

The sound-card is detected but it is not playing.
Code:
$ aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: ICH5 [Intel ICH5], device 0: Intel ICH [Intel ICH5]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: ICH5 [Intel ICH5], device 4: Intel ICH - IEC958 [Intel ICH5 - IEC958]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

I hope that someone can help me with this problem.

Did you resolved your issue. I have exactly the same sound card as you, output looks the same.

$ aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: ICH5 [Intel ICH5], device 0: Intel ICH [Intel ICH5]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: ICH5 [Intel ICH5], device 4: Intel ICH - IEC958 [Intel ICH5 - IEC958]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

I have put the following in my Audio hardware setup, under
Audio output device = custom
Custom audio device = iec958:hw:CARD=0,DEV=0 [Dev=4 did not worked for me] (Make sure tonight if this is 100%)

Everything is working 90%, see also this url http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/DigitalOut
It helped alot.

The 10% is during music playback. Every second song is complaining that it can't get the audio device, the song plays in silence, then the next song plays with sound. Then again the next song is slient and the error. So on..........

I think it has something to do with the device being busy. But still looking for a solution.
