However, with a 2.6.18-rc* kernel I have to use alsamixer to get any output from it. I tweak the levels till it's working and use alsactl store to save it. Normally, when I reboot it's enough to have a bootscript run alsactl restore and it should work, but as I said, with a 2.6.18-rc* kernel it doesn't. Every time I have to use alsamixer to change the setting to A/D Conv and then back to AC-Link again to get the diode to come on and start sending a signal to the amplifier. And the problems don't stop there. At first it sounds fine but after a few minutes it starts to develop a harsh, tinny, metallic, distorted quality and it becomes unlistenable. According to alsamixer v1.0.11, the card is an Intel ICH5 and the chip is an Analog Devices AD1981B Andy - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
