hmmm, another ac97 eap having problems with aucat.
just out of curiousity, can you try the following:
another thing to try (just as a guess that this has something to do
with block sizes) try starting aucat with 'aucat -l -b 8192'.
Well, that seems to have "fixed" the issue. Sound now plays over aucat.
Let me know if there's anymore information you need, or
settings/configurations you want tested.
Then I rebooted the computer with this in /etc/rc.local
nice -n -20 su -m nobody -c "aucat -l -b 8192 &"
When it came back up I had no sound again. I killed aucat and
restarted it with aucat -l -b 8832 and still no sound.
I don't know if this makes a difference, but before I rebooted the
computer I noticed that I had three instances of aucat running. One
I could kill, but the other two I actually had to use
kill -9 <pid>
before they finally terminated.
As I said before, let me know if there's anything else you want me
to try.
