along the way the configuration is going astray. The master control only<br>supports muting -- no volume changes, and the pcm control supports volume<br>changes (which don't seem to do anything to the audio) but not support
<br>muting.<br><br>I have already updated to the latest BIOS version (IIRC, v0404). I'm starting<br>to suspect something nasty like the dsdt data being bad. It would be<br>informative<br>to learn what controls you see if you run alsamixer on your working system to

<br>won't need to worry about SPDIF, 5.1 audio, etc. I just want to get stereo to<br>work properly. Since I don't seem to be able to control it properly with<br>alsamixer, there's no reason to expect MythDora to do better.
<br><br>I look forward to hearing what additional data you can provide later.<br><br>Thanks once again.<br><br>Craig.<br></blockquote></div><br>Ok, these are my sound settings:<br><br><span style="font-weight: bold;">Audio Device

This is what almost rendered me crazy the first time...<br><br>Now for the ACPI/DSDT part: it seems that the ACPI table for this BIOS is actually broken to some extent, as it has been completely impossible for me to make Suspend to RAM (using hibernate-ram) work on this machine. Suspend to disk is working, though. I've even reached the point of disassembling the ACPI tables and
compiling a kernel using a custom DSDT with the IASL compile errors fixed,
but no luck... If you are lucky enough to make it work I'd be glad to
know any details...<br><br>It seems to be a problem with the barebone, as looking for a solution to this I've found that it seems that there problems in Windows too...<br><br>Best regards, <br> Eduard<br><br><br><br>
