Hi all, I'm having problems getting the builtin sound card on my Asus A7V8X-X to work properly on Redhat 9.0. The documentation I have says it's using an ADI AD1980 which uses an AC'97 codec. Redhat's soundcard autodetection identifies it as a VIA 8233 AC97 Audio Controller, and adds the via82cxxx_audio to /etc/modules.conf. This module sort of kind of works, in that sound comes out of the microphone port, but esd locks less than a second into playing anything in xmms using esound. OSS works ok.
The next step was to install the alsa 0.9.4 rpms from freshrpms.net These worked well, and got esd working without crashing, and sound coming out of the correct port. However, as weird as it sounds, sound coming out of the left speaker is fuzzy and scratchy, sort of sounding vaguely like a blown speaker. However, switching back to the via82cxxx_audio driver, or playing a cd sound fine, so I'm having a hard time believing it actually is a blown speaker, or other similar hardware problem (I was thinking blown amp in the soundcard as well). Also, on a similar note, it seems that the setting for "Surround" controls the main volume, as opposed to master, and "aux" controls cd volume. I'm inclined to think this is also indicative of the problem. Tonight I downloaded, compiled, and installed alsa 0.9.5 from the tarballs (I uninstalled the rpms first), but I don't notice any difference. I'm totally stumped. Does anyone have any insight as to what might be going on, or where I might go from here to troubleshoot?
