My guess is that the nvidia 430 doesn't have this feature, or it's driver hasn't turned it on by default. Possibly there is a module parameter switch that shows up with modinfo that you could play with? If you think the hardware supports this feature but the driver isn't enabling it then your best bet would be to contact the alsa developers to look for some support. (Or do it yourself if you have the skill set!) cheers, Mark -- gentoo-amd64@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
