I just want audio. I have tried every combo of plughw:0,0 .....etc.... nothing works.

I DO NOT get any audio device initialization errors...

Everything works in Windows

I could go either HDMI or Coaxil.... I have both...

I have a 3400z slimline with an nvidia 8400 card....
this is my output of aplay -L

box@mediacenter:~$ aplay -L

Since the audio devices don't fail to initialize, what gives?

This is super annoying, considering it works out of the box in Windows.

my chip is Realtek ALC1200 and I have the latest alsa

And which aplay/speaker-test works?
