Hi Sunny, From the specs: BIOS: 4Mb LPC EEPROM HP BIOS with enhanced ACPI, DMI, Green, and PnP Features Plus Theoretically, the HP BIOS could be 'optimized' to support some factory installed (M$?) software. You could test this by flashing the BIOS with an 'off-the-shelf' image from ASUS. I'm not convinced this is your problem, however.
... I can not use the mike - it breaks after 2-3 sec of working, I tried skype, and other recording programs. I tried both 64 and 32 bit SuSE 10, Knoppix 32 bit. It is always the same.
First, I wouldn't expect an IRQ problem to exhibit a symptom like this. The device should either be recognized, initialized and work... or not, if the problem is really IRQ. If you drop to 8KHz sampling rate x 8 bit samples, does the recording time increase before the microphone "breaks?" This could be a broken buffering scheme, i.e. software bug (broken module?) What happens if you do a 'line' recording?... if you record from streaming radio, does it also go silent after a second or two?
I know from the kernel lists that there is a problem with the APIC support for some SiS mobo's, so I hope that if I can set the IRQ for the sound to something else, it may work.
Have you tried all of the relevant boot kernel parameters? /usr/src/linux-{version}/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt regards, Carl
