Sorry for the late reply - hope you can try this before resorting to ALSA
1. Most common problem is the onboard sound in the BIOS having the wrong
settings. I'm using an Award 6.00 BIOS so the menus may differ. "OnChip
Sound" should be enabled in Advanced Chipset Features and "OnChip Modem"
disabled. In Integrated Peripherals, both "Onboard Legacy Audio" and "Sound
Blaster" should be enabled. The IRQ/DMA settings are the ones to experiment
with, I found the default IRQ5/DMA1 (with matches my normal SB16 ISA) to
work fine.
2. Sidenote if you do get it working, AC97 sound is really tinny and
unamplified - get the software mixer/aumix to maximium master/PCM output
levels and use amplified speakers.
Hope this helps,
Dustin
