The default configuration for ad1980 is to use slots 7/8. 3/4 is not the best choice since the DACs are set to this by default. I don't think ICH4 has anything to do with this, I downloaded the specs a while ago only to realize that it just gives you access to the ac97 regs and that's it. There's practically nothing to configure on the south bridge itself.

I dumped all ac97 regs from /proc and was going to send you teh list, but they did not change at all between PCM and ac3. I later discovered, quite by accident, that for some reason ac3 is never routed to the ac97 codec - when I choose the hwac3 option the stream always goes to emu10k1 (and plays correctly over its spdif), even though I explicitly specify "hw:1". I have to try unloading the modules for emu and see what happens then. But this seems anyway a bug. Unless the ICH driver declares no possibilty to create open ac3 stream and alsa falls back on the default card? -------------- Fycio (J.Sobierski) [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SlickEdit Inc.
