I formatted the entire HD and replaced it with a dual boot consisting of windows 8.1 and LMDE-2.
My problem is that LMDE 2 won't offer me the mobo on-board analog 5.1 sound. It detects the s/pdif and the hdmiport. It also detects my external soundcard (for which I have no cables...). I then tried it in windows and the strange thing is that it wouldn't play it there either. After scratching my head, complaining about everything bad in the world and reading up on forums I inserted the old LinuxMintcinnamon14 live CD and it works like a charm so what is the problem here? Is it some driver Betsy is missing or what?
Does anybody have a suggestion about what I can do to get it working?
This is what I found using lscpi -v on Betsy2.

It seems to my eye that both systems use the the same drivers. A strange thing that occured when I was trying the Mint14 just now was that in that system the hdmiport soes not output any sound so it's a similar problem but the other way around.
Betsy 2 does not list analogport at all. Mint14 Lists all ports but does not output sound on hdmi.
Since both ports are on the mobo using what I understand is the same kernel, could there be a conflict here?
Anyway, I really would like to use Debian instead of Ubuntu so I'll be most thankful for all suggestions.

As you can see it contains the analog output that is missing on LMDE 2 below.
