-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 That's bleak. I bought a Mac Mini to do audio on. It's got the dreaded hda_intel chip. But with kernel 2.4.18 it works fine. Fine meaning: there's still some xruns, but not enough to slow me down too much. Right now I haven't been able to get it to actually *record*, but since I'm mostly doing all-digital stuff right now it hasn't gotten in my way. Yet. I suppose if I do any serious work I'll get one of those firewire audio external boxes like the FA-66, which aren't too expensive last I checked. - -ken - -------------- On Thu, Dec 21, 2006 at 06:39:08PM -0500, Lee Revell wrote: > On Thu, 2006-12-21 at 17:50 -0500, Chuckk Hubbard wrote: > > alsamixergui loads fine, runs fine, but no sound. > > During boot, I get the message: > > hda_codec: invalid dep_range_val 0:7fff > > many times, and I'm told this is the problem.
