Hi, I encountered the same problem this week when installing Linux on a computer. The frustrating part is that a few years ago I had the sound card working with Linux. I would like to add to Daniel's post that when loading the snd_via82xx module outputs something like: codec_read: codec 0 is not valid Which means that the driver could not read the codec (see: linux/sound/pci/via82xx.c: snd_via82xx_codec_read_function). I have tried with the kernel alsa modules, with the separate alsa-drivers modules, older versions of alsa-drivers modules they all have the same problem. Also I have un-muted all existing channels but I still haven't been lucky. I have even tried all the jacks (some posts about this driver state that they have sound on the mic jack). Any kind help would be appreciated. Thanks, Cristian ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
