Hi, I just got a brand-new ASUS laptop, a W6F light laptop. So far I managed to get everything to work (wireless, X, ...). The only thing that stubbornly refuses to work is the sound. Here's the sound card: # lspci | grep -i audio 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02) I googled quite a bit for this. Some folks suggested to put an addition options line in /etc/modprobe.conf. Here are some of the suggestions: options snd-hda-intel model=asus ... or: options snd-hda-intel model=asus-laptop ... or: options snd-hda-intel position_fix=1 model=asus I tried all these (and duly rebooted after each attempt), but to no avail. Usually, to test the sound, I open a terminal and try to play one of the test sounds in /usr/share/sounds/alsa with the command-line 'aplay'. Anyone got that sound card to work? Any suggestions? I'm quite clueless. Cheers, Niki
