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 10DE:026C 10DE:CB84 Analog Stereo

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, but S/PDIF is not relyable. 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 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.
