OK, Thanks for suggestions. Here are results of -sct on:

ZG5 netbook: IHD: Intel ICH7 (808627D8) > Realtek (10EC0268) 192 khz/24bit/8ch
D250 netbook: IDH: Intel ICH7 (808627D8) > Realtek (10EC0272) 192 khz/24bit/8ch

Note: only detected difference of 10EC0268 vs 10EC0272.

My OS is gool old MS-DOS 7.1

I used "-scs IDH" option NOT "-scs:IDH" -- it was a typo.

The mystery deepens as, I plugged in headphones on the lineout jack on the ZG5 system, and initially with "-scs IDH" got NO sound volume. Then I tried "-scs IDH -scvom 100" and got very low, attenuated sound. Then setting volume to 700, sound gets a little bit louder, but very much distorted. I also noticed that the "static" I was hearing on -scs AUTO was in fact extreme distortion of the sound. I had to lower output volume all the way down to 1 or 2 out of 100, and then the sound could be heard undistorted (no static), but very, very low volume... How to remedy this? Mplayer WSS library plays sound at very loud, clear, undistored.

EDIT: While the sound is playing at that very low volume, adjusting soundcard volume with <ALT+.> has no effect, ie can go from 100% to 0% with no change in volume, and also back up to 100% also with no change in volume.

I am convinced the problem lies in wrongly detecting the output mode, I tried settings -scd and -scc options to +1, +2, and 0 with no effect, as I thought I might be able to switch from speaker to lineout via them, but I couldn't.

All these problems disappear on the D250 netbook, (Realtak 10EC0272 detected), and no distortion, very loud sound via both speakers and lineout jack.
