Comment 3 for bug 676810

Hi,

I am really new to this so I do not really understand how to implement the change you suggest.

However, I did read o lot from the support forum and it appears to come down to this:

alsa project info:

230 Module snd-atiixp

 231 -----------------

 232

 233 Module for ATI IXP 150/200/250/400 AC97 controllers.

 234

 235 ac97_clock - AC'97 clock (default = 48000)

 236 ac97_quirk - AC'97 workaround for strange hardware

 237 See "AC97 Quirk Option" section below.

 238 ac97_codec - Workaround to specify which AC'97 codec

 239 instead of probing. If this works for you

 240 file a bug with your `lspci -vn` output.

 241 -2 -- Force probing.

 242 -1 -- Default behavior.

 243 0-2 -- Use the specified codec.

 244 spdif_aclink - S/PDIF transfer over AC-link (default = 1)

 245

 246 This module supports one card and autoprobe.

 247

 248 ATI IXP has two different methods to control SPDIF output. One is

 249 over AC-link and another is over the "direct" SPDIF output. The

 250 implementation depends on the motherboard, and you'll need to

 251 choose the correct one via spdif_aclink module option.

 252

 253 The power-management is supported.

my computer info:

!!Loaded sound module options
!!--------------------------

!!Module: snd_atiixp
 ac97_clock : 48000
 ac97_codec : -1
 ac97_quirk : <NULL>
 enable : N
 id : <NULL>

 index : -1
 spdif_aclink : Y

What I appear to need to learn how to do is edit the "module" snd_atiixp on my ubuntu. For the life of me I cannot figure out how to do this. Please understand I am new to this and any instructions must be tailored to a buginner. If you have time to reply it would be most appreciated.
