Creative Labs ? Did you add this or is this what it is on-board on your Asus ? My sound was working "good" with the Alsa that came with mdk9. Working Perfectly after upgrading alsa to their latest. Module 82cxxx, no mention of Creative Labs however anywhere... ? > 00:0f.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Audigy (rev 03) > Subsystem: Creative Labs SB0090 Audigy Player > Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 18 > I/O ports at b000 [size=32] > Capabilities: <available only to root> > > 00:0f.1 Input device controller: Creative Labs SB Audigy MIDI/Game port > (rev 03) > Subsystem: Creative Labs SB Audigy MIDI/Game Port > Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32 > I/O ports at a800 [disabled] [size=8] > Capabilities: <available only to root> > 00:11.1 IDE interface: VIA Technologies, Inc.

Next time someone searches the message archives there will be something to grab ahold of regarding the Asus a7v8x. Excellent info. Thank you Frej and Marcel. THX -AEF
