Hello! Earlier today, I upgraded my Debian/Linux box from a MSI KT4AV-L (http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_detail.php?UID=456 ; VIA VT8235 Chipset with its integrated direct sound AC'97 audio/RealTek ALC650 6-channel audio) motherboard to an ASUS K8V SE Deluxe (http://www.asus.com/products4.aspx?modelmenu=2&model=235&l1=3&l2=14&l3=0 ; ADI AD1980 6-channel CODEC). Everything seems to work except for the sound. I don't see any errors or anything odd. I just get no audio. I checked with speakers and headphones. I even booted to Windows on the same hardware to try ASUS' SoundMAX Audio Driver v5.12.01.3663. It had no problems so the onboard sound is fine. I have Kernel v2.6.18-2 (Linux fool 2.6.18-3-k7 #1 SMP Sun Dec 10 20:17:39 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux), ALSA (alsa-base v1.0.13-2), etc. I tried play command, XMMS in KDE v3.4.3, speaker-test command, etc. I installed Kernel, software, checked the volumes, etc. from apt-get command. Here are play and speaker-test command results (notice there are no errors): $ speaker-test speaker-test 1.0.13 Playback device is default Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 1 channels Using 16 octaves of pink noise Rate set to 48000Hz (requested 48000Hz) Buffer size range from 32 to 32768 Period size range from 16 to 16384 Using max buffer size 32768 Periods = 4 was set period_size = 8192 was set buffer_size = 32768 0 - Front Left Time per period = 2.219238 0 - Front Left Time per period = 2.901248 0 - Front Left $ play mail.wav Input Filename : mail.wav Sample Size : 8-bits Sample Encoding: unsigned Channels : 2 Sample Rate : 8000 Comments : GoldWave v1.00 (C) Chris Craig;Sound Forge 4.0 Time: 00:04.14 [00:00.00] of 00:04.14 ( 100.0%) Output Buffer: 33.14K Done. # lsmod Module Size Used by vmnet 34796 13 parport_pc 32612 0 parport 33672 1 parport_pc vmmon 103884 0 binfmt_misc 11272 1 ipv6 228064 18 dm_snapshot 15840 0 dm_mirror 19600 0 dm_mod 50776 2 dm_snapshot,dm_mirror eeprom 7504 0 i2c_viapro 8532 0 w83627hf 23056 0 hwmon_vid 3072 1 w83627hf i2c_isa 5440 1 w83627hf i2c_core 20096 4 eeprom,i2c_viapro,w83627hf,i2c_isa usbhid 37856 2 snd_seq_dummy 4164 0 snd_seq_oss 29120 0 snd_seq_midi 8544 0 snd_seq_midi_event 7488 2 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi snd_seq 46224 6 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi,snd_seq_midi_event usb_storage 72832 0 eth1394 18756 0 tsdev 7808 0 sk98lin 133344 0 snd_via82xx 26328 0 sata_via 10372 0 gameport 14920 1 snd_via82xx snd_via82xx_modem 14408 0 shpchp 33312 0 libata 90644 1 sata_via ide_cd 36576 0 cdrom 33056 1 ide_cd snd_ac97_codec 83360 2 snd_via82xx,snd_via82xx_modem snd_ac97_bus 2688 1 snd_ac97_codec snd_pcm_oss 39200 0 snd_mixer_oss 15552 1 snd_pcm_oss amd64_agp 12292 1 psmouse 35336 0 ehci_hcd 28488 0 pci_hotplug 29056 1 shpchp skge 35152 0 scsi_mod 124872 2 usb_storage,libata snd_mpu401_uart 8384 1 snd_via82xx uhci_hcd 21448 0 rtc 12788 0 agpgart 30216 1 amd64_agp serio_raw 6980 0 usbcore 113412 7 usbhid,usb_storage,ehci_hcd,uhci_hcd e100 32904 0 mii 5696 1 e100 ohci1394 31344 0 ieee1394 88376 2 eth1394,ohci1394 snd_rawmidi 23200 2 snd_seq_midi,snd_mpu401_uart snd_seq_device 8140 5 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi,snd_seq,snd_rawmidi snd_pcm 68996 4 snd_via82xx,snd_via82xx_modem,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss snd_timer 21316 2 snd_seq,snd_pcm floppy 53668 0 pcspkr 3392 0 snd 47524 12 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq,snd_via82xx,snd_via82xx_modem,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_mpu401_uart,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq_device,snd_pcm,snd_timer snd_page_alloc 9928 3 snd_via82xx,snd_via82xx_modem,snd_pcm soundcore 9568 1 snd ext3 120392 10 jbd 52968 1 ext3 mbcache 8644 1 ext3 ide_disk 15168 13 generic 5316 0 [permanent] via82cxxx 8708 0 [permanent] ide_core 110984 5 $ lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc.
