Do you mind sharing the mainboard make, model and serial number? Or a link to it's specs on the manufacturer's website? Or a link to the sound chip / chipset documentation? I have an electronics engineering tech background and wouldn't mind taking a look. Also, which sound module(s) are being loaded?
It is an "MS-6534 Micro ATX Mainboard" form MICRO-STAR with Award bios (there are no updates for that one, only for the Ami bios). I downloaded the manual time ago, perhaps here: http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/download/dld/spt_dld_list.php?kind=1&CHIP=17&NAME=Archives http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/download/dld/spt_dld_detail.php?UID=298&kind=1 specs: http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_detail.php?UID=... The manual was 6530v11.exe or perhaps E6534v1.0.exe: 6530v11.exe: MS-DOS executable PE for MS Windows (GUI) Intel 80386 32-bit, UPX compressed which can be decompressed in linux with "upx", and yields a rar file. Uncompresing the rar yields the pdf (weird! but saves some space). I could email it to save time. Let me extract some info: Intel® ICH2 chipset (360 BGA) - - AC97 Controller Integrated - - 2 full IDE channels, up to ATA100 - - Low pin count interface for Winbond SIO ... H/W Audio (Optional) C-mediaCMI8738-6CH-LX Supports 6 channel Audio AC97 2.1 compliant S/W Audio 2-channel Audio Codec 4-channel Audio Codec (Optional) AC97 2.1 compliant ... Audio: Chip integrated It doesn't say much... well, it has 2 speakers, but can be swithced to have 4 or 6 speakes, loossing line in and line out. So I use only two. hwinfo gives better info: 19: PCI 1f.5: 0401 Multimedia audio controller [Created at pci.286] UDI: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pci_8086_2445 Unique ID: W60f.iC9KKoQ5aqD SysFS ID: /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.5 SysFS BusID: 0000:00:1f.5 Hardware Class: sound Model: "Micro-Star International 82801BA/BAM AC'97 Audio" Vendor: pci 0x8086 "Intel Corporation" Device: pci 0x2445 "82801BA/BAM AC'97 Audio" SubVendor: pci 0x1462 "Micro-Star International Co., Ltd."
