Using 2.6.13 kernel, I have tried all the ac97_quirks and the best I can get is a horrible buzz and music coming out of the MIC JACK.

Anyone else have this working? I get this error when loading the modules with any quirk :

mm alsa # /etc/init.d/alsasound start

* Loading: snd-card-0 ... [ ok ]
* Loading: snd-seq-oss ... [ ok ]
* Loading: snd-pcm-oss ... [ ok ]

UPDATE:

Downloaded the beta drivers last night from alsa. The card now works, only plays via the MIC. Anyone have a suggestion as how to fix this? Does it make a difference?

You ever figure this out? I'm having a similar problem with kernel 2.6.14_rc1 (the alsa-driver package wont compile). I get this in /var/log/messages:

I posted this on the alsa users mailing list and got 0 response. Alsa is teh sux. I have stuck my old ymfpci back in there and it works like a champ.
