>Description:
With the addition of the appropriate line to auich_devices table
in auich.c the onboard audio seems to mostly work. Two things aren't quite
right:
1: The outputs.master volume control does nothing. Instead, outputs.surround
works as the master volume control.
2: I'm getting occasional "auich0: fifo underrun # 1" errors. This may be
because the audio player isn't actually feeding the data to the audio card
fast enough. However, if I intentionally cause audio data starvation
by, e.g., playing audio across the network and running "ifconfig down"
and "ifconfig up" at various timings, the device will sometimes get in
to a confused state and play the audio with a lot of stuttering and
echo. Triggering another fifo underrun fixes the audio.
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
Probably search the intel docs for what is different between the ICH5
and the other audio devices.
