I'm guessing it's a mobo/driver specifc issue. This is because I just did a test on my setup and all was good. $ uname -a Linux centos501.homegroannetwork 2.6.18-128.7.1.el5 #1 SMP Mon Aug 24 08:20:55 EDT 2009 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux 00:11.5 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8233/A/8235/8237 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 60) This is on an EPOX 8KRAI PRO desktop mobo. Since it's the weekend, I don't know how many of the folks that could help are around. You might try looking at the kernel menu config file and see if that driver is disabled. Maybe the plus kernel has it enabled, since they turn on lots of extra things. > <snip> > - -- > Mike A.
