 huh, bet this might be an smp problem

 works like a champ on my ASUS board.

 this could be one of two things:

 1. your version of the CMI8738 might have a new pnp number, but i sorta
 doubt it because then you wouldnt get the 'CMedia CMI8738' string.

that is kinda what I'm figuring too ...

 2. All Your Interrupts Are Belong To Somebody Else!

  the extra bits of tomfoolery involved in getting a second cpu to live in
 an architecture than never imagined more than one (daisy chained 8259a's,
 still?) may have consumed the available interrupts.

Actually, I thought about this, and one problem with this theory ... right
now, I have both serial ports and the parallel port disabled, which should
free up 3/4 and 5 (or is it 7?) ... if I re-enable them, they come up fine
with their respective IRQs ;(

 3. Other, more reasonable, but more subtle problems that i cant imagine
 :-)


 I'd suggest the ol' boot -v and see what you get for a dmesg.

Will try this one tomorrow at the office ...




  I've tried manually setting in the kernel:
 
   strings /kernel | grep pcm0
  pcm0_resources
  ___device   pcm0 at isa? irq 5 drq 1 flags 0x0
 
  but that hasn't made any difference ...
 
  Anyone have any experience with this board, or this chipset, that
  might be able to suggest a course of action here?
 
  thanks ...

 I have the original non-dual version (ASUS A7M266) with the same sound
 chip:
 
 dmesg | grep pcm0
pcm0: CMedia CMI8738 port 0xa400-0xa4ff irq 10 at device 5.0 on pci0
 
 Here's what I have on my 4.3-STABLE (circa 06/01) config:
 
device   pcm0
device   sbc0at isa? port 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 flags 0x15
 
 The flags may be the kicker for you.  That sets the 2nd (16-bit) DMA
 channel IIRC.
 
If you have the time I would be very interested in having more information about your 
configuration as I am contemplating building a similar SMP system. How much memory do 
you have installed and what use do you have for the system?

Any information much appreciated.
