I recently bought a centrino notebook with a onboard intel sound-chip (details see below this message). A few questions:
Is it possible to have the pc speaker enabled? As soon as the driver is loaded, the pc speaker becomes silent since it also runs over the internal sound hardware as it seems. Furthermore: I see that many onboard chips (realtek, intel etc.) use the i8x0-driver. Is it just the driver that is so "universal" or are these cards really all based on the same core? If not: Can some of the cards do hardware-mixing and/or is a kernel-level software-mixing solution planned sooner or later (for alsa post-1.0)? Last but not least I get some noises with the alsa-driver which I don't get with the oss driver. This is the usual mouse-move-and-cdrom-turned-up noise but I was unable to shut it off :-( ~sth PS: That was with kernel 2.6.0. I'm back on 2.4.23 now - should I test again with 1.0rc2?
