I have an ASUS M2NPV-VM motherboard with the MCP51 HDA on the board. My

It apears that in 10.2 at least, the 'snd_hda_intel' driver is
loaded. I have a problem and have submitted a bug report where the
sound completely goes away if I adjust the volume from within any sound
player while KMIX is also loaded and can only be reset by attempting to
load a bogus 2nd card, causing an error during initialization of the
bogus card, doing an abort and for some reason, that restores the
sound. Simply logging off or resetting/restarting the sound system
without a reboot or doing the above jumping through hoops does not
work, however, I do have sound and none of the other drivers seem to
work including ones on the Nvidia web site. The ones the default
installation in 10.2 selected at least allow me to have sound as long as
I adjust the volume with KMIX off or only using KMIX and remembering not
to use the volume slider within an application.
IF you find a better solution, I *REALLY* would appreaciate a ding
because the 'whistle' when any sound is playing is annoying, but better
than silence.
