Audio on Intel DQ67EP


I'm trying to get audio working on a new Intel DQ67EP motherboard.

lspci -v shows:

Code:
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 6 Series Chipset Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 04)
	Subsystem: Intel Corporation Unknown device 200f
	Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 7
	Memory at fa220000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
	Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2
	Capabilities: [60] Message Signalled Interrupts: Mask- 64bit+ Queue=0/0 Enable-
	Capabilities: [70] Express Root Complex Integrated Endpoint, MSI 00
	Capabilities: [100] Virtual Channel <?>
	Capabilities: [130] Root Complex Link <?>
As you can see, there is no kernel module listed. I've built the latest ALSA drivers (alsa-driver-1.0.24), but that didn't change anything.

Googling around, I've learned that 6 Series Chipset blah blah is generally driven by the snd-hda-intel driver. But when I modprobe that, it isn't magically connecting to this audio chip.

My kernel is Linux 2.6.27.8 #1 SMP Thu Sep 23 17:21:53 GMT 2010 i686 Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600S CPU @ 2.80GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
(derived from Slax 6.0.9)

Is there a place I should be going to find newer drivers?

Or perhaps there is some bleeding edge patch I should be applying?

(Intel's web site is useless. They only give Windows drivers for audio. I did get the ethernet working by using their latest e1000e driver.)

Any ideas?

Hya,

Intel's web says that DQ67EP has ALC888 based sound.
It is supposed to be supported by snd-hda-intel. You may need kernel parameter 3stack-dig or whatever.

Check what lshw says, also check if your kernel supports ALC888, if not, get newer kernel source.

Hope this helps

Happy penguins!

My bad. Turns out I botched the build of the latest alsa library and didn't realize it. The latest ALSA modules ARE compatible with this board.
