I have an A7N8X Deluxe motherboard. My lspci has the following: 0000:00:05.0 Multimedia audio controller: nVidia Corporation nForce Audio Processing Unit (rev a2) 0000:00:06.0 Multimedia audio controller: nVidia Corporation nForce2 AC97 Audio Controler (MCP) (rev a1) I'm fairly certain that it used to say it had a via chip, same message as yours, but upgrading to the 2.5.12-rc4-mm kernel seems to have changed the message. Anyways, the card I have actually uses the intel8x0 driver, and appears to have 5.1 support using this driver (I can't confirm this - don't have the speakers) The via driver loads on my board, as well, but doesn't appear to provide any functionality. -- Calvin Walton -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
