Hi, Trying to rephrase my question a little. I have a motherboard with a built in soundcard that the docs simply lable as "AC97". I see a module ac97.o, and it doesn't complain when I load it, but there's no sound. So here's my question: could someone shed some light on what exactly AC97 is? I've read a few papers on the net. Am I right in thinking AC97 is an application interface, as opposed to a chipset standard (in other words the ac97 module is an API that still requires a chipset specific driver) or have I misunderstood something? TIA Anders
