Great! The information needed should be given in [
http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Docum...iguration.txt], however this does not mention your chip. It is out of date, so I will talk more about a recent version below. The change log for alsa-1.0.15 [
http://www.alsa-project.org/main/ind....0.14_v1.0.15] mentions the chip a number of times, so there is support for it in this latest release.
There is a bug filed under
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...er/+bug/114053. It appears that a number of people have your problem and have not been able to fix it yet.

Given the lack of success shown in the above bug discussion, you may prefer to wait before doing this. However there is quite a bit of support for the ALC883 under alsa-1.0.15. To install it, see the thread:
[
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...oblem-596862/]
You'll see we had a little trouble initially but eventually got it to work OK, so you should look towards the end of that discussion.
If the problem is not overcome after a reboot, then you can try some options. Without the options statement, Alsa tries to get information from the BIOS, which may not always work properly. In the process of installation you will have untarred the file alsa-driver-1.0.15.tar.bz2. Go to the directory alsa-driver-1.0.15/alsa-kernel/Documentation/ and open the file ALSA-Configuration.txt. Look for the section mentioning the ALC883. You will find all the options listed there, which refer to different configurations for various machines and cards.
The module options file needed under Ubuntu is /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base (modprobe.conf is a RedHat file, I'm still weaning myself away from Fedora). At the end of this file, try adding:
options snd-hda-intel model=3stack-dig
and reboot. Then see what you get in alsamixer. If it doesn't work, try other options mentioned in above ALSA-configuration.txt.
