Hi all
I have an hp pavilion 713a machine, with Microstar MS-6577 Motherboard. This has an Avance AC97 audio chip on board, which works fine under the pre-loaded XP. I'm trying to migrate it to Mandrake (10.0 Community), and running into the odd obstacle or two... Firstly, the drivers themselves. "Configure your computer" says the hardware itself is working fine (there are no error messages). I've tried using the alternate drivers as listed here, but with no better success than the default (snd_intel 8x0). The diagnostic procedures tell me to run a series of commands, and I've done these, but the results are cryptic: chkconfig --list sound reports a series of 0: .. 6:, with off or on. chkconfig --list alsa does the same. What do these mean? Nextly, the mixer. I'm using KDE desktop, so up comes Kmix. The help files for this tell me nothing about what the red and green buttons (above and below the sliders) are for - can ANYONE tell me? Also, I can see a "Mix Mono" output, but after having fiddled the drivers the stereo one has disappeared - is this a symptom of the lack of sound out? Yes, I can right-click the slider and split the control, but the right one snaps to the left setting, so that doesn't turn it into stereo, it's really a mono one. Has anyone any pointers here?
