Hi,
Thanks for responding. If it was Intel based, then I would see
snd-intel8x0? If it was Via based (which I'm sure it isn't since ATI and
Via compete in the chipset market) then I would see snd-via82xx.
What I'm seeing is this doing an lsmod is:
snd-atiixp 7660 0
plus other standard stuff like snd-seq, snd-pcm, etc. This is on Alsa
Version 1.0.3 from the new Dyne:bolic CD.
I noticed that in alsamixer it identifies itself as:
Card: ATI IXP
Chip: Analog Devices AD1981B, Silicon Labratory Si3036/8 rev 7
Looking on the Alsa site I see there is an Analog Devices 1981B entry,
and it does suggest both the Intel and Via drivers that you and Gian
Paolo suggested, but if I follow those instructions I'm not going to end
up with this machine booting a driver called snd-atiixp.
Maybe I'll just try doing an Alsa emerge that builds everything and then
see if I get a driver that matches this name. Possibly it's just new
enough that no one has done a Alsa page update for it yet...
Thanks,
Mark
