Has anyone got any experience of getting the sound card in the HP Brio's to work under Mandrake. lspcidrake reports it as Cirrus Logic|CS 4614/22/24 [CrystalClear SoundFusion Audio Accelerator] which I understand isn't supported by the default kernel but can be made to work with the ALSA drivers. I've tried compiling and installing the packages from the ALSA website (http://www.alsa-project.org) but with no apparent success (I just seem to get static out of the soundcard!). I did do it in fits and starts since this is my work machine and I only get to play when the network is being shifted around or similar. Anyone got any ideas? GOt it working, thought of something I may have missed? I've tried playing with various mixers and I can change the volume of static I get, but no proper sound :( I have a vague idea that 7.1 includes a sort of ALSA RPM, if this is the case I'll probably re-install with that, but I can't remember where I got that idea from so it may just be made up!
