audio problem with 2.4.22-pre10 and 2.4.22-pre10-ac1

[Pasi Savilaakso]

I have one asus a7v8x-x, which I just installed. Everything else is fine but
no audio. when I got this on first time after compiling kernel and tried many
different configs but no success at all. current audio config is at the end of
mail.

dmesg tells:

Via 686a/8233/8235 audio driver 1.9.1-ac3

Hi Pasi,


I have a similar board lying around and I had some trouble getting sound  
to work with OSS/2.4 drivers also. As I remember. the trick was to  
connect the speakers to the microphone port (the pink one, on the far  
left), instead of the regular speaker-out. With ALSA, both on 2.4 or  
2.5/6, the sound output is on the speaker-out port, as it should. One  
small quirk though, as the sound volume is controled by the "Surround"  
mixer setting, rather than "Master" -- this has the most annoying effect  
of making the sound-volume task bar applets useless. Eventually I just  
gave up on the on-board sound and plugged in a pci soundblaster.

Hope this can help you.


Regards,



		Nuno

Thanks for the tip but It wasn't the solution. all 3 lines out are dead. It is 
shame since I sold my sblive a while back.
