Hi,
I've discovered a lot of thing about my integrated audio in my MSI K8N
Platinum that has a Creative Sound Blaster Live! 24 bit.
There is a bug in alsa 1.0.8 that prevent the correct detection of MSI
K8N's audio chip.
https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=901
Bug will be fixed in 1.0.9 and is just fixed in CVS.
In 2.6 kernel the patch is already in 2.6.12rc1

Fedora Core 4 kernel version 2.6.11-1.1191_FC4 has all 2.6.12rc1 patches
(right?) and also alsa patch for MSI.
So I've installed this kernel, now soundcard seems to work but still
this issues:
1) volume control panel won't open (I've used alsamixer to put up the
volume but no luck)
2) if I play an audio file seems to be played well (with old kernel no
soundcard alert popup), but there is no sound.
3) system-config-soundcard still crash (I think it is unrelated to my
audio chip) --> see attachment.
I'm the only one that I've this kind of motherboard and Fedora Core 4
test 1????
help please
Marco
