Hi, The only machine I own in my house is an old amd64 which has the following sound card.
VIA VT1708/A that has AD1986A Codec It gives out sound but does not capture sound from Mic on any OS except Windows. Since my family wants to voice chat with my brother who has gone abroad for higher studies I tried contacting the Linux developers to fix the driver. http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=126414072830819&w=2 I was re directed to a VIA developer who told me that she does not have the Data Sheet to fix the problem :-( https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=699431#p699431 I got the Data Sheet from http://www.analog.com/static/imported-files/data_sheets/AD1986A.pdf and Contacted the VIA developer and the Linux Kernel Developer who re-directd me there again but there was no response :-( Since I have now figured out how to use Voice Chat on OpenBSD it would be great if some body who has time look into this and fix this issue :-) Thanks --Siju The Details of my System are as follows $ dmesg OpenBSD 4.7 (GENERIC) #112: Wed Mar 17 20:43:49 MDT 2010 dera...@amd64.openbsd.org:/usr/src/sys/arch/amd64/compile/GENERIC real mem = 468385792 (446MB) avail mem = 443437056 (422MB) RTC BIOS diagnostic error 36<config_unit,memory_size,invalid_time> mainbus0 at root bios0 at mainbus0: SMBIOS rev. 2.3 @ 0xf0730 (54 entries) bios0: vendor American Megatrends Inc. version "080012" date 06/19/2006 bios0: ASUSTeK Computer INC.
