OSS driver working with nvidia MCP51


Hi Guyz,

Yesterday, I have bought a pc with AMD 939, GA-K8N51GMF-9 motherboard, and installed Mandriva 2006.

Initially, i was not able to get any sound in the system (even with nforce drivers). But, later, after a tedious search, I found that u can install the OSS drivers from

http://www.opensound.com/osshw.html

Though have not tested the full functionality, now, I am atleast peacefull that the driver utility can detect the sound card and am atleast getting a two channel sound now. (didnt check the other channels yet)

Just posting it in this forum, so that it will be of use to some one...

Cheers!!!!

it seems you should be using the Alsa driver, which was added early last year. Check the snd-hda-intel module. You really should be avoiding the old OSS stuff like the plague if possible now.
