    No surround sound on Realtek ALC892

    I've been trying to get my surround sound(5.1) to work for the past couple of of days, followed a number of guides, but nothing seems to get it working at all. I'm connecting the speakers using 3 analogue audio cables, I have tested and they work fine under Windows. When I go into the Sound options in Ubuntu I don't see a 5.1 profile listed under the Hardware tab, only stereo(and that works fine).

    The sound controller is a Realtek ALC892 built-in to my mobo(Gigabyte P55A-UD3).

    Here is some info I've seen requested in other threads, I'm running 10.10 RC, but I can assure you it doesn't work under earlier versions.

    Code:
    Linux Yurippe 2.6.35-22-generic #33-Ubuntu SMP Sun Sep 19 20:32:27 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux
    Code:
    **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
    card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: ALC892 Analog [ALC892 Analog]
      Subdevices: 0/1
      Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
    card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 1: ALC892 Digital [ALC892 Digital]
      Subdevices: 1/1
      Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
    Code:
    Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.23.
    Code:
    hideaki@Yurippe:~$ head -n 1 /proc/asound/card*/codec#*
    ==> /proc/asound/card0/codec#2 <==
    Codec: Realtek ALC892
    
    ==> /proc/asound/card1/codec#0 <==

    Codec: Nvidia ID 12
    
    ==> /proc/asound/card1/codec#3 <==
    Codec: Nvidia ID 12
    Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!

    Hate to say this, but I went all round the houses on this one also. My solution for the moment is to fit a PCI sound card, works a treat!

    All the solutions that I've seen so far will break if there is a Linux header update.

    I'm now waiting for Alsa sound modules that support this chipset to be officially incorporated in to Ubuntu.

    That makes sense. I suppose it's just a matter of time then...

    At least stereo audio works great.
