I have an issue with my Z68ITX-A-E board which I wanted to bring to everyone's attention here.
Problem being that in Linux (Ubuntu 11.10/12.04 and Linux Mint 12 Lisa, all 64-bit), I do not get any sound from the Front Panel Headphone Jack.
The setup is fine in Windows 7 64-bit.
The Audio Chip is the Realtek ALC892, and Ubuntu installs the correct drivers for it. Sound is present from the rear-panel audio outputs.
Front Panel is broken.
Now this is not a Linux problem. I ended up purchasing an ASRock H67M-ITX/HT which uses the same Audio Chip (Realtek ALC892) and front panel audio works perfectly in Ubuntu 12.04.
I installed the Beta BIOS and it still didn't solve my problem.
I suspect something isn't right with the way the pins report HDA information on jack-presence on the Zotac board.
Incase you're thinking there is a problem with my case's front panel audio connector, its probably nullfied by my above test with the ASRock board. But for reference purpse, I use the Lian Li PCQ08B Case for this setup.
Can anyone confirm that this is infact the problem or prove me wrong (I'm hoping for the latter because this would imply simply swapping out the motherboard). If this doesn't work, I'm sorry but I'm going to have to take my business elsewhere.
Please help.
I'd like to keep the Zotac board instead of the ASRock board.
I've posted this problem up to the Zotac Tech support/DSLReports, Launchpad.net for alsa-drivers problem, you name it... hopefully there is someone out there who has a Z68ITX-A-E who is willing to help me out.
Thanks,
C
