In Search Of [Free & Open] Diagnostic Software
My basic problem: an nVidia NForce2 (AC-97) sound card that doesn't make any sound. The problem may be installation, or may be hardware. I can't get it to squeek, no matter what I select under my preferences.
SYSTEM: Ubuntu 7.10, Kernel 2.6.22-14-generic, GNOME 2.20.0
Full lspci output at end of this post.
To address the possible hardware problem: Long long ago, one could get "CHECKIT" and diagnose basic hardware. Of course, I doubt CHECKIT ever heard of soundcards.
Does anyone know of free & open programs that can get in and diagnose the hardware at a pretty basic level?
TIA!
