I recently built a new mythtv box with GigaByte GA_965P_DS3
motherboard and 2.4ghz core 2 duo, it has onboard HDA Intel sound with
ALC882 Codec, I am using spdif output to a yamaha home cinema amp
(stereo output and dts spdif passthru) Ive also briefly used the
headphone output, all outputs work very well, I have not used any
inputs yet.

I have problems with other parts of the system but fixes for those are
coming in 2.4.18, there are patches and workarounds for other issues,
the only remaining problem I have is no pata support so no cdrom or
dvdrw :(

The first Intel system I have built for myself since a PII-266, and I
am very impressed!
