Can you find exactly which patch broke that for you (you'll >possibly want to keep fixing the codec table as you test older ones) Update: - 2.4.3 appears to have the same issue of no-find the codec. 2.2.19pre17 reports the wrong h/ware address for the sound device (the same one as the IDE bus - urghy!), so I can't even load the driver to test if it'll work (which I doubt). Upon looking at the code between 2.4.0 and 2.4.13, in particular at trident_ac97_get() and trident_ac97_set() there is practically no difference between them, except for the addition of another option in the switch statement for another card. Almost all the additions and changes between versions have been specifically ALi or similar chipsets, and don't seem to affect the SiS stuff. So where to now? Thinking mebbe I should hook this machine up to the net outside the firewall, plug in the webcam and point it at it, give you an ssh account on it, and connect an oscilloscope to the audio and let you fiddle. Useful for the SiS FrameBuffer thing as well I'd guess. *grin* Talk about remote debugging eh?
