It's quite possible. A lot of motherboard manufacturers use [and code for] components that are...suboptimal. Software from them doesn't bother to initialize form registers properly, as we're seeing with quite a few instances of Intel's new High Definition Audio (Azalia) spec. Sometimes a hard boot is necessary, but we should able to work around that in the driver (ALSA). Cheers, -- Daniel T. Chen [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG key: www.sh.nu/~crimsun/pubkey.gpg.asc
