Alsa works fine, with PA disabled/nuked. It (PA) might well work, _IF_ PA paid any attention to the assignments I made long ago in my modprobe.conf that make alsa work flawlessly. But it doesn't. Until it honors those assignments, it will continue to be disabled on this system. I can, in pavucontrol, select the emu10k1 stuff, but the audio doesn't get there unless you count the sideband splatter 80 db down. With it disabled, here is my /proc/asound/cards: 0 [Audigy2 ]: Audigy2 - SB Audigy 2 Value [SB0400] SB Audigy 2 Value [SB0400] (rev.0, serial:0x10011102) at 0x9c00, irq 17 1 [HDMI ]: HDA-Intel - HDA ATI HDMI HDA ATI HDMI at 0xfddfc000 irq 16 2 [NVidia ]: HDA-Intel - HDA NVidia HDA NVidia at 0xfe020000 irq 20 Plz note that the index=1 entry above is not even bonded out on my video card, an ATI HD2400 Pro. Also note that the 1 and 2 (index numbers) above appear to be identical, and no one seems to know how I could forcibly switch them and actually make the ASUS motherboards audio available for use. I do have another amp/speaker set I could plug into the mobo, if it was usable, or maybe use it for an internet telephone?
