The iBook has only recently gained sound support - the driver in 2.2.15 doesn't support it :/ Neither, for that matter, is there any support in the rsync trees on penguinppc.org (bitkeeper.fsmlabs.com rsync is down). However, it seems the only place that has the iBook-capable driver is at http://students.washington.edu/mpalczew/ - the dmasound.c.gz arc at the bottom. How the support has been done looks fairly simple (fwics). The G3 PowerBooks have a bus called "davbus" with a member "sound". Similarly, the iBook has a bus called "i2s-a" with a member "sound". It looks like the reason this hasn't been synced into the main tree is because the support for iBook sound removes the support for PowerBook G3 sound. > package which makes it work on internal speakers too.

They don't for me - I'd be interested to see your patch ;) -- Rob [EMAIL PROTECTED]
