Hi Christian,

I take it from the first part of your message that sound is OK on the
g3/beige (I certainly hope so - that's the machine I test most on ;-)

Hmm.  can you send me the output of "cat /dev/sndstat" please. and tell me
if you have the "burgundy" sound chip (I think you do).

well, you could try applying the following two patches (I updated earlier
this pm):

ftp://ftp.penguinppc.org/users/iain/kernel/2_4_x/2.4.4p4-dmasound/dmas-2.4.4
p4-1.diff.bz2

and

ftp://ftp.penguinppc.org/users/iain/kernel/2_4_x/2.4.4p4-dmasound/dmas-2.4.4
p4-2.diff.bz2

(both need to be applied)... you should be able just to "make dep modules"
and "make modules_install" and go from there.

what desktop?
could you make sure that things aren't getting futzed by the mixer - I know
this sounds a little dumb - but could you try adjusting the levels of
speaker and input... even if they look like they are OK.

ciao,
Iain.
