I am using No the above information is wrong, the a7n8x deluxe depends on the nforrce2 mcp-t2 chip to give out audio. the nvidia driver is better than the intel810 driver. The nforce 2 audio is excellent quality it has 6.1 surround sound with all the major 3d standards, its the best on board audio standard I have seen, the only thing which produces better sound in my opinion is the audigy card. > Can anyone suggest a fix please? Well if you visit the nvidia site <www.nvidia.com> they have a nvaudio driver for your nforce2 southbridge, ie hte package contains nvnet for the ethernet and nvaudio for the nforce2. I suggest you install it. Just forget about alsa support it has buggy drivers and if your OSS driver supports duplex and channel mixing (my emu10k1 does), then there is really no need to encumber yourself with alsa. Just make and install the driver then put the following alias sound-slot-0 nvaudio into your modules.conf file (or whatever gentoo uses) and you should be done. Alsa still has a long way to go, and sometimes it isnt worth it. For example alsa doesnt supprt my audigy 2 card as well as the emu10k1 OSS driver.
