All I got one of these cards a few months ago. Sound production is really good, and it plays nicely with jack and alsa, but I get the following messages in the log every time I start my PC. I've updated from SuSE 9.1 to 9.3 (64bit on AMD64), but the messages persist. Consumer PCM code does not work well at the moment --jk ALSA sound/pci/ac97/ac97_codec.c:1916: AC'97 0 does not respond - RESET ALSA sound/pci/ac97/ac97_codec.c:1925: AC'97 0 access is not valid [0xffffffff], removing mixer. ice1712: cannot initialize ac97 for consumer, skipped I also notice that kamix/qamix doesn't have a volume slider. Is this "normal" behaviour for this card or is there anything I can do to make things "better"? -- David Haggett
