hello, i've read the archives - there's a lot on this chip, and googled extensively, but after a week and a half i still can't get anything but a click at start-up out of this chip! finally got the options down (no more messages in syslog). running alsa 0.9.6 and slack 9.1. hope i've sent all the relevant info., if not let me know. and, yes, the alsamixer has benn unmuted, again, and again, and again ... thanks
