Re: Re: soundcard not detected by alsaconf
I have the Chaintech VNF4 Ultra VE. Its a nforce4 motherboard. I think that it has a realtek chip but I know that I can use the nvidia or Realtek drivers on the windows side. I am convinced that its a compatibility issue with this kernel but, if anyone know of any alternatives, I'm open to suggestions. I'm still also interested in a kernel install tutorial. thanks

You may need a newer kernel (like 2.6.12) to support a fairly recent chipset's sound chip even though it is compatible with snd-intel8x0. If the driver doesn't know it should be able to work your chip's pci id, then it won't try. Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Re: soundcard not detected by alsaconf
OK, I guess new kernel it is. Does anyone know of a good, newbie oriented, tutorial on installing a new kernel and the pains thereafter. Thanks folks.
