I don't really know what I'm looking for. Have you made sure that your sound chipset is supported? That board appears to use the *C-Media 9739A. Here's a snippet I found in a quick google search that might help:* ** * * 4.5. Sound 4.5.1. Onboard: SiS 7012 (CMedia 9739A) The required drivers are: * ALSA: snd-intel8x0 * OSS: i810_audio The following switches (e.g. kmix) have to be set correctly, otherwise there is no sound (this actually took me days to figure out): * PCM: unmute * IEC958 Capture Monitor: mute The volume slides don't have any impact. According to the alsa-project mailing list this seems to be a hardware restriction. No resolution available right now, recommendation is to install another sound card (e.g. SB). I have checked this for OSS and found the same result. * *
