Did as you suggested and removed alsa from the kernel and compiled alsa-driver but It didn't work. The only thing that changed was the name of the chip it detected, same as yours. I still only have Master with alsamixer and no sound not even quitely I'm using kernel 2.6.17-r8 and the 1.0.13 versions of alsa Matt -- %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Dr. Matthew R. Lee.
