Re: [LUG] SiS 7012 Sound Controller

[Chris Brown <chris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

David,

Thanks for the suggestion. The sound works fine under Knoppix 3.7 live. It reports the sound controller as an Intel 82440 MX and loads the i810_audio driver.

I grafted the driver into my SuSE installation, modprobed it and, hey presto, sound!

Looks like the Gatesware upgrade did flash write to the onboard chip. Alsa mixer under SuSE Linux reports the card as a C-Media CMI9739 instead of a SIS 7012

Neil,

Thanks for the suggestion. It was one of the first things I tried (I've
been using Gatesware since Win3.1 and it usually works for that). Still
nothing.

    

I suggest you try a Linux live CD like Knoppix or similar and see if you get 
any sound out of that. That would rule out any configuration issue in your 
distro.

Regards,
David.
