No sound with m2npv-vm mobo

[naudefj]

Hi,

 

I'm unable to get sound from my newly acquired Asus m2npv-vm mobo with Mandrake 2007. I know the hardware is working, as I can play music with GeeXBox. I would appreciate some guidance. System info:

I've just installed an old copy of Fedora Core 4 and get perfect sound (snd-hda-intel and ALSA 1.0.11rc2). So, this must be a problem with Mandriva's ALSA packages/ drivers.

 

Where is the best place to report problems like this? Would it even be possible to log a bug with Mandriva?

You should be able to report bugs to Bugzilla, but they seem to be having problems at the moment...

 

I've emailed them as requested. :)

Hi!

I ve got the same mobo on an asus barebone and the sound works fine on ALSA driver for the MP51 chipset

So, I am not sure if that helps so far but there we are.

 

I did the install from a DVD from a magazine and I am using the 32Bits version as the DVD did not want to install the 64 Bits.

 

The only trouble I ve had so far is the lack of oss support for the sound which means that I get a crappy sound when playing quake.

 

Let me know if you ve managed to make lm-sensors work because so far I haven't.

 

I am so glad to find someone with the same mobo, I quite like it, it isn't my first barebone, I use to have an ideq, I chose asus because it was cheap but the results are ok.

 

See you and good luck, keep the feed posted with any progress!
