Another search on Goggle finally found something, but I'm not sure I like it. My card shows up in "lspci -v" as... 00:14.2 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA) (rev 40) Subsystem: Acer Incorporated [ALI] Device 0372 Flags: bus master, slow devsel, latency 64, IRQ 16 Memory at d0400000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K] Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2 Kernel driver in use: HDA Intel alsamixer shows... Card: HDA ATI SB Chip: Realtek ALC272X One solution I've seen involves modprobing the sound driver with a parameter. Problem is I've been using kernel-mode alsa for years and I'm an absolute newbie on "alsa-driver". alsa-driver is keyworded ~amd64 but I'm desparate enough to try it. Maybe even desparate enough to try the other solution, namely revert to OSS. If I want to keyword alsa-driver and install it, I assume that I have to remove all kernel support for sound, i.e in "make menuconfig"... < > Sound card support ---> Is that correct? Also, what should I specify in ALSA_CARDS in /etc/make.conf ? -- Walter Dnes
