Hello everybody!
I've got the Asus a7n8x Deluxe 2 with nforce2 soundchip but i can't get sound working...
with kernel 2.4.24 it worked fine...
i already tryed nearly everything!

Is there a way to get it working?
what about 5.1 sound?

I'm using the sys-kernel/development-sources 2.6.1
Using make menuconfig, under /Device Drivers/Sound/Advanced Linux Sound Architecture my settings are:

Code: Select all

<*> Advanced Linux Sound Architecture
<*>   Sequencer support
< >     Sequencer dummy client
[*]   OSS API emulation
<*>     OSS Mixer API
<*>     OSS PCM (digital audio) API
[*]     OSS Sequencer API
<*>   RTC Timer support

In PCI devices enable "Intel i8x0/MX440, SiS 7012; Ali 5455; NForce Audio; AMD768/8111"

If you have alsa in your kernel you won't need to load it as a module anymore, i.e. "emerge -C media-sound/alsa-driver". However, keep the rest of the alsa related ebuilds as you will still use them.

I've heard that 5.1 sound should work through the kernel driver, though I'm not sure cuz I don't care

. BUT, I do care about have multiple sound channels (play more than one sound at the same time) and that doesn't work for me

Just a hunch to add to the above. Check your levels in amixer (or alsamixer).

Even after a successful kernel the sound levels are set to 0 by default

hmmm
tryed both but doesn't work... maybe i'll have to wait for a working kernel patch or an official nvidia driver...
