I gave up and just pulled a separate sound blaster card out of an old machine and disabled my on board sound. I also pull an old separate geforce 6200 card and am using that in place of my on board 8200 because the 8200 generates a bunch of nasty artifacts when using compiz-fusion.

 

So much for the little upgrades I was hoping to get with this new mobo.

 

I really appreciate the help, thanks again.

I gave the realtek download a try and ran the installer -- sound still has static. ffi, is it worth going through the steps you mentioned or is that redundant at this point?

My modprobe.conf file looks different. I don't know if it's messed up from all of the driver changes I was trying, here it is:

 

install scsi_hostadapter /sbin/modprobe ahci; /sbin/modprobe ata_piix; /bin/true

install ide-controller /sbin/modprobe amd74xx; /sbin/modprobe ide_generic; /bin/true

install usb-interface /sbin/modprobe ehci_hcd; /sbin/modprobe ohci_hcd; /bin/true

alias wlan0 hostap_pci

alias eth0 r8169

alias sound-slot-0 nvaudio

alias pci:v00001260d00003873sv00001385sd00004105bc02sc80i00 hostap_pci

I just installed Mandrive 2008 Spring on my system after I installed a new mobo (Biostar TForce TF8200 with integrated GeForce 8200) and the sound is working but terrible. It has a lot of interrmittent static. I've tried switching audio drivers around without much effect.

 

Can anybody offer me some help please? I've been a long time Mandrake/Mandriva user and this is just driving me nuts.
