hi,
i'm moving to buy a new mother board: gigabyte 8knxp.
it has integrated an audio ac97 codec chipset by realtek: alc655
i searched in the sound cards matrix and i couldn't find it so i surfed
the web for any kind of support for it in linux but i found nothing.
from what i see in the ac97 support code the alc650 is supported but no mention to
alc655.
is this chipset supported by alsa?
thanks
We have the specs for the chip, so supporting it should not be too much
of a problem. See the nice PDF files from realtek web site :-) .
If you get the motherboard, I could work with you to get it working.
It looks very similar to the alc650, which is already supported, so the
work involved whould not be too much. I an fairly sure that all that
would need doing is to add recognition for the chip in ac97_codec.c and
then program it exactly the same as the alc650. Some of the extra
functions of the alc655 might not be supported, but you will get 5.1
channel sound output and be able to record. You just might not be able
to select all the different combinations of sound in/out jacks.
Cheers
James
Hi,
it would be cool. just another question before i go to buy: does the
ac97 code support hw multiplexing aka multiple playing for the alc650
dsp?
thanks
The alc650/alc655 do not support hw multiplexing and can only be opened
once.
