I hope that you did not change distributions in order to get that sound. Changing distributions will do nothing for you if both use older versions of alsa. At least in Kenrel 2.6.12 the also is too old. You need to download alsa 1.0.11, making sure that you have the eknrel source installed, and compile it and install it to gt the riptide module. > I found either kernel unable to load sound modules to support its sound. > The soundchip(on board) has been detected as Rockwell Semiconductor PCI Audio > Controller and it requires > snd-riptide driver.

Since Windows runs the soundcard using drivers supplied by the manufacturer, write the manufacturer to ask why they did not write a module for Linux. Then try the new alsa. > Thanks in advance. _______________________________________________ Alsa-user mailing list Alsa-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
