analog audio
I installed Bazzite on my new main Rig in the hope of getting away from windows forever.
I am unable to get analog audio over the 3.5mm Jacks of my mainboard to the speakers.
My board has 3 Jacks. All 3 are occupied by the cable of my speakers. It is a 5.1 system but i only care about the front speakers and the subwoofer.

i have a gigabyte x870 gaming wifi 7
headphones plugged in the front audio jack work.
audio over display port works.
audio over the rear 3.5mm jack doesn't work#
i got audio to the speakers left and right over line out but i would like to get to get the system to work as 2.1 speaker
TLDR: I reinstalled bazzite and got back to having only headphones.
Mobo has realtek ACL897
Rant:
I have to say that this really sours my experience. I tried to follow some guide but I broke the sound system completely so I decide to make a fresh install of the whole Bazzite.
I am now where I started. Audio coming out only from headphones via front jack and zero from the speakers.
I spent two evenings struggling to get a basic functionality to work, I understand that the manufacturers don't give support for Linux but Jesus I am getting PTSD for Alsa and her friends.
I was already traumatized by Alsa 15 years ago under Debian and hoped in a smooth experience this time but no.
I am considering buying a usb DAC and try my luck like that. I hate spending the money specially knowing that under wintrash11 it would work as it is now. I would have bought a different Mainboard of i knew.
I bought a DAC for 40€.
It works out of the box with all possible modes.
