Hello. I have an Intel H55 motherboard (ASUS P7H55-M PRO) with ALC892
sound codec and a 3.5" front panel which doesn't support newer HDA pinout.
So the panel is connected in "AC97" mode and this mode is set in the BIOS
setup. In 2.6.35 and earlier the panel's headphones jack was working. Now
it isn't. I've bisected this down to
ce503f38bdb59c9175a9076215a3ba579fad4e64 (which is present in 2.6.36),
reverting it helps. I've got "Too many connections" messages without this
commit, indeed, but I had no problems (though I use only a pair of
speakers connected to the rear panel and headphones in the front panel).

Obviously your front-panel doesn't suit with the HD-audio, and BIOS
still doesn't set the right pin defaults. That is, it was a bug of
the driver that made your device working :) Now, the driver does the
right thing.
A possible fix is to add quirks to override the wrong BIOS setup.
Please give alsa-info.sh outputs with and without the commit to figure
out the real pin configuration.

Try the very latest alsa-driver snapshot or sound-2.6 git tree.
You should have an individual "Headphone" volume as well.

Yes, that makes difference: I was able to use the headphones after raising
that new volume.

OK, then this should be the patch below. Care to apply it to 2.6.36
and check whether it gives the same result?
If it works, we'll need to push it to stable tree, too.
thanks,

Subject: [PATCH] ALSA: HDA: Add an extra DAC for Realtek ALC887-VD
The patch enables ALC887-VD to use the DAC at nid 0x26,
which makes it possible to use this DAC for e g Headphone
volume.

I've applied it to 2.6.36 and got a "Headphone" volume, and it works.
