Oh yes, the built in sound ( ESS chip based system ) doesn't work at all. On
boot, the system generates clicks like it is initializing the system, but the
Linux kernel doesn't see it and starting any ALSA system doesn't see it
either.( loudspeaker with an red X icon ).
I have a partial workaround that has limited functionality. This involves
adding a USB sound card dongle. I have to control volume on it externally. Some
internal mixers don't work. AmaroK does though.
I have dual boot on this Armada 1750 and the internal audio and all of it's
functions work just fine in W2000pro.
I troubleshot the problem to the hardware bridge The bridge devices are seen.
The ESS chip on the other side is not.
I have posted this workaround on other Linux forums.
I ( and many others ) would like to see a hardware fix.
