This is a list of sound cards and our experiences with them
| Card | Chip | Type | PCI ID | Subsystem | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| VIA 8237 | Realtek ALC655 rev 0 | on-board | 1106:3059 | 1565:8212 | Analog Stereo
S/PDIF: PCM, AC3/DTS passthrough |
| HDA NVidia | Analog Devices AD1986A | on-board (ASUS M2NPV-VM) | 10DE:026C | 10DE:CB84 | Analog Stereo: this driver is 5.1 native, not stereo. One of the speakers probably gets the LFE and that gives a high pitched sound in the headphones
S/PDIF: PCM, AC3/DTS passthrough |
| Intel ICH5 | Analog Devices AD1888 | on-board | 8086:24D5 | 1043:810D | Analog Stereo
S/PDIF: PCM, AC3/DTS passthrough |
| SB Live [Unknown] | SigmaTel STAC9708,11 | PCI | 1102:0002 | 1102:8067 | Analog Stereo works
S/PDIF is not reliable. At first, there was no S/PDIF output, but, at some point, passthrough started working, but not PCM. On another variation of this card (different subsystem), PCM worked (but not passthrough) after enabling the AC97 loopback (snd-ac97-codec module parameter) and unmuting the ADC/DAC control in alsamixer, but not on this one. When trying to play PCM through S/PDIF, this card clicks once every few seconds (once S/PDIF started to work that is) until the playing is stopped. |
| NVidia CK804 | Realtek ALC850 rev 0 | on-board (ASUS A8N-E) | 10de:0059 | 1043:812a | Analog Stereo works
S/PDIF output doesn't work |
