Recently upgraded my Myth BE/FE combo machine using this new Asus board and ATRPMs, and now I am having problems getting audio to work. <br><br>The onboard audio chipset is VIA VT1708B, which supports up to 8 channels. The Northbridge is GeForce 8200.<br>
<br>My patch level:<br><br>Linux myth 2.6.26.5-45.fc9.i686 #1 SMP Sat Sep 20 03:45:00 EDT 2008 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux<br><br>First, based on what I read here, I uninstalled the pulse audio server, or at least I think I did. I removed all the packages related to pulse that did not also want to remove a ton of dependent things, including myth. What I have left is <br>
<br># rpm -qa | grep pulse<br>pulseaudio-libs-0.9.10-1.fc9.i386<br><br>Removing this package requires that I remove some stuff I want to keep, like myth. :)<br><br>If there is a chance that the pulse server is causing this, how can I tell if it is fully cleaned from my system?<br>
<br>My alsa packages look like this:<br><br>rpm -qa | grep alsa<br>alsa-lib-devel-1.0.16-3.fc9.i386<br>bluez-utils-alsa-3.30-2.fc9.i386<br>alsa-kmdl-2.6.26.5-45.fc9-1.0.17-70.fc9.i686<br>alsa-lib-1.0.16-3.fc9.i386<br>alsa-utils-1.0.16-2.fc9.i386<br>
alsa-driver-1.0.17-70.fc9.i386<br><br><br>For simplicity, I am using the analog audio port for now (with a splitter to RCA red and white), figuring I would tackle digital audio (optical) later, once I get analog sound working. I have tried both headphones and my Onkyo receiver, and neither can pick up more than a hint of sound, even at max volume. alsamixer (and kmix) both confirm that the audio levels are unmuted and turned up to 100%.<br>
<br>Any idea why I am having so much trouble configuring sound on this new box? Is this hardware just a little bit ahead of the drivers?<br><br>Larry<br>
