Hello,

I'm a Linux newbie and I'm having problems configuring the sound on my system. My motherboard is an ASUS P4S8X-X with an integrated SIS7012 sound board. The system works flawlessy under WinXP, so it's not a hardware problem.

I spent a couple of days trying to solve this by myself, and here's what I've got:

- Linux recognizes the board with no IRQ problems;
- System says it's a SIS7012/Intel i810/AC'97
- and the most bizarre: if I plug my speakers in the microphone jack(!) the sound works perfectly!

I'm running Red Hat Linux 9 - kernel version 2.4.20. My guess it's I need updated drivers, but I don't know what to do. Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance,
Pedro

Same prbolem, same specs

The BIOS settings are set for APIC and the Plug 'n Play operating system option is Disabled.

The BASH shell command "cat /proc/pci" gives :

Bus 0, device 2, function 7:
Multimedia audio controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SiS7012 PCI Audio Accelerator (rev 160).
IRQ 3.
Master Capable. Latency=32. Min Gnt=52.Max Lat=11.
I/O at 0xa400 [0xa4ff].
I/O at 0xa000 [0xa07f].


...and the command "dmesg" gives :
