Hi, I'm trying to get sound out of a Dell Precision 530, which is equipped with a Intel i860 chipset that contains a AC97 soundchip.
alsaconf sets up the snd-intel8x0 module and every module loads without complains: snd-pcm-oss 34720 0 (autoclean) snd-mixer-oss 8992 1 (autoclean) [snd-pcm-oss] snd-intel8x0 9216 1 snd-pcm 49952 0 [snd-pcm-oss snd-intel8x0] snd-timer 9952 0 [snd-pcm] snd-ac97-codec 22528 0 [snd-intel8x0] snd 25064 0 [snd-pcm-oss snd-mixer-oss snd-intel8x0 snd-pcm snd-timer snd-ac97-codec] soundcore 3844 3 [snd] but there is no sound. I've unmuted the channels and tried sveral ways to ouput sound (ALSA via aplay, OSS via mpg123 and xmms, aRts via xmms). I'm using alsa-0.9.0_cvs20020125. At the end of the mail I've included the lspci output. Does anybody have any experience with the chipset or mainboard? Any help would be appreciated!
