Problems with Realtek ALC885 PCM using snd_hda

[Jens Jahnke]

Hi,

because of some issues with the windows side of my dual boot system I
deciced to unplug my old sb live und use the internal soundchip
(realtek alc885). Which works great under windows but now I have some
issues under bsd.

The first one was that snd_hda detected more than one sound device. I
was able to solve this using some lines in /etc/rc.local which set the
default sound unit.

But to my unsolved problems:
1.) The sound playback works fine for some minutes and then I get micro
interrupts (skipping half a second or so) every few seconds. I tried to
increase the buffersize of the pcm device but that did not help.

2.) I can't get more than one connector running. Right now there are 6
connectors at the rear and two at the front. I've read the manpage of
snd_hda regarding device hints but to be honest I didn't understand a
single word of it. :-p
I tried some hints randomly but failed of course.
Currently one connector at the rear (line-out) works but all others are
dead. Furthermore the manpage states that rear output should be muted 
if a headphone is jacked in which also does not work.
I'd like to have two connectors running at the rear for my 4.1 speaker
system and the headphone on the front panel.

Found connectors by snd_hda:

hdac0:  nid 31 0x01cb7160 as  6 seq  0      SPDIF-in  Jack jack 11 loc  1 color  Yellow misc 1

BTW: I tried audio/oss which solved the first but not the second problem.

Regards,

Jens
