Something I should be doing that I'm not? You are missing new snd_hda man page reading. RTFM. :) 1) Read new man page; 2) Driver provides you two pcm devices for different purposes, so try to use both (as man page recommends); 3) If your system has several audio connectors - try all of them, they are not equal any more. 4) Boot with verbose logs enabled to get much more information about your codec and driver operation (as man page recommends); 5) Connexant audio codecs are rare, so send your verbose output to me, I would like to see it. -- Alexander Motin
