Hi. My mainboard is a Tyan Thunder K8WE (S2895) (details can be found here http://tyan.com/products/html/thunderk8we.html and here http://tyan.com/products/html/thunderk8we_spec.html).
It uses Nvidia nForce Professional 2200 chipset which includes an AC97 compliant soundchip. My distribution is Debian sid, Kernelversion 2.6.16.something, which includes ALSA 1.0.11rc2. First of all does this chip support hardware mixing and full duplex? I use GNOME (thus ESD) and I alawys have problems with sound when for example using Ekiga. It complains that it either cannot access the sounddevice at all,.. or that full duplex is not available... :-( Recording only works if I set up an .asoundrc (which I've attached below). 2nd Problem: The Mixer does not work correctly. When I change the settings for Master (e.g. via gnome-volume-control or alsamixer) nothing happens at all. But when I vary the value for Headphones it behaves as if Headphones would be the Master. Is there any way to correct this?. Thanks in advance, Chris. Here is my .asoundrc (note that this is surely not perfect,... but I'm not a sound expert ;) ): pcm.intel8x0 { type hw card 0 } pcm.output { type dmix ipc_key 1024 ipc_perm 0660 slave.pcm "intel8x0" slave { period_time 0 period_size 512 buffer_size 8192 rate 44100 #rate 48000 } } pcm.input { type dsnoop ipc_key 2048 slave.pcm "intel8x0" } pcm.duplex { type asym playback.pcm "output" capture.pcm "input" } pcm.!default { type plug slave.pcm "duplex" } pcm.dsp0 { type plug slave.pcm "output" } ctl.dsp0 { type plug slave.pcm "intel8x0" } ------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
