How can it be hardware problem if it (CMI9739A) works with Windows XP?

and model is EP-8RDA3I, then, could you be so kind and tell me ,please, how did you get onboard sound working correctly?

What about sound drivers? Is linux supported? Or you will get this answer: We love to help you when you have board issue's, for how to install drivers under Linux please contact Mandrake instead.

I certainly did that too (su:)

You could overclock a little

modprobe soundcore = command not found make = command not found (seems logical if there is no make file in folder there I untarred the file + no make install either) after extracting cmaudio-041.tar.gz I get following files: ali_5451.c; cmaudio.h; cmconfig.c; cmi9738.c; cmi9739.c; intel_ichx.c; main.c; Makefile; Readme.txt; sis_7018.c; via_82cxxx.c Perhaps I need to do something with cmi9739.c at first ?

I was finally able to download drivers http://www.cmedia.com.tw/download/e_UDA9738_linux.htm but now I need some help at command line.

For PCCHIPS LCD PC, you should change the following codes in cmaudio.h: // For PCCHIPS LCD PC #define FORCE_LINEINASREAR_MODE 1 #define FORCE_XEAR_MODE 1 //#define FORCE_LINEINASREAR_MODE 0 //#define FORCE_XEAR_MODE 0 Known issues: 1. This driver only tested on RedHat 7.3. 2. /dev/sequencer is not supported. 3. In RedHat 8.0, gmix can not select recording source correctly. Please using aumix. Installation: For driver installation, please follow below steps. Step 1. Unzip source code tar xzf cmaudio-041.tar.gz Step 2. Turn on sound support (soundcore module) Step 3. Complied source code make make install Step 4. Edit your /etc/modules.conf or conf.modules depending on the Distribution alias sound-slot-0 cmaudio post-install sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L >/dev/null 2>&1 || : pre-remove sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -S >/dev/null 2>&1 || : Step 5. reboot your machine Phone Jacks Configuration: We provide a console mode program, cmconfig.c, in order to let you change jacks' configuration. please follow below steps. Step 1. Compiled source code, the source code is also in cmaudio-041.tar.gz. cc -o cmconfig cmconfig.c Step 2. Execute and change the settings ./cmconfig ******************** Step 1 is easy, but step 2,3 and 4 are complicated. What I need to type exactly?

Onboard sound, 6 channel CMedia C9739a Audio Supports Digital SPDIF and software AC-3 http://www.epox.nl/english/products/motherboard/8rda3i.htm -motherboard Does anybody know where I can get linux drivers for this (onboard)soundcard ? www.cmedia.com.tw is not loading [moved from Software by spinynorman]

# service alsa start ALSA driver (version 1.0.2c) is already running. No sound with other modules either

aumix crashed first time I clicked on }Multimedia}sound}aumix (when came up that bug reporting tool but it couldn't do the backtracing or something...) and since then it doesn't start at all. Typing in terminal aumix q will give me aumix: error opening mixer Correction: seems like now I don't have sound at all (this reminds me suse) *Audacity* There was an error initializing the audio i/o layer. You will not be able to play or record audio. Error: Host error. Ok I will try removing aumix I will run xmms now. And what i get! Another crash! This backtrace appears to be useless. This is probably because your packages are built in a way which prevents creating of proper backtraces, or the stack frame was seriously corrupted in the crash.

That's sad then I can't get rid of dragon :(

I believe dl nforce drivers http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_nforce_1.0-0274 will not solve the problem of not being able to adjust volume level,( except on/off ) So the best resolution is to get pc speakers...

the easiest way to change the KDE Logout Screen look?

use Ctrl+F in your browser and search for logo ;) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> yeah, you are right (sorry)
