It uses i8x0 drivers for its sound chip, my output from lspci: 0000:00:06.0 Multimedia audio controller: nVidia Corporation nForce3 250Gb AC'97 Audio Controller (rev a1) Subsystem: Giga-byte Technology: Unknown device a002 Flags: bus master, 66Mhz, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 21 I/O ports at e000 I/O ports at e400 [size=128] Memory at fa002000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K] Capabilities: [44] Power Management version 2 That soundcard is supported quite well. Playing and also recording sounds just fine. Only problem is that I have front audio panel built in my case, where I can connect microphone and headphones. Headphones work fine, but I can't get recording from microphone connected to front panel. Tweaking with mixer didn't help. Only solution was to use binary nvsound from nvidia drivers which is, to be honest, poor quality. Also it works fine under Windows. So it seems that there is something missing or wrong in current i8x0 driver. ====================================================================== ---------------------------------------------------------------------- alchemyx - 08-18-05 23:01 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You are completly right. I can hear myself, but I need to turn up the volume to the max and almost scream to the mic! :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- vsu - 08-19-05 12:41 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- If your motherboard has the Realtek ALC850 codec, you need to upgrade ALSA drivers to 1.0.9 (or later) release - see bug #1232 for details. The codec type is shown by alsamixer and in /proc/asound/card0/codec97#0/ac97#0-0. If your motherboard has some other codec, please upload /proc/asound/card0/codec97#0/* files and /etc/asound.state file, like the reporter of #1232 did.
