If you go into alsamixer it tells you what chipset is in use. Anyway My old iBook (blue clamshell - one usb one firewire) is awacs works in alsa, but headphone detection is manual only My new(er) iBook (ibook 2, dual usb, firewire, g3 500) is tumbler and seems to have the best mac sound support thus far, alsa works and headphone detection does also. so does beeping. although putting the bass or treble up over ~50 causes terrible distortion from the inbult speakers. My iMac (DV) works with alsa. Dont know the chipset (i put macosx on there) and headphone detection causes spasms - i reported it on alsa bugs but that was almost a waste of time. That combined with the cpu not being gutsy enough to play dvd's caused me to buy macosx and put it on. Making sound work properly and giving me the dvd function i wanted. So all in all it cost me less and a small tv + dvd with the advantage or being a computer. We really need someone to sit down and focus on sound. Once again my enthusiasm is high but by knowledge is low and my time is also. Stupid Uni, Stupid being young and chasing girls. Stupid girls costing money.
