Sound driver problem for MCP51 High Definition Audio

koolks · 03-03-2007, 06:56 AM

I am using suse10.0x86_64. OS has detected sound card. Its also showing up in the Hardware Information when i check it through Yast. But the required drivers are not available in the List of Sound drivers that comes with the base installation.

I checked a few openSuSE Yast Repositories for the requisite drivers but could not find one. I am fairly new to Linux. So Any tips would be helpful.

The Sound Card is MCP51 High Definition Audio.

If you have nVidia HDA audio chips MCP51, MCP55, MCP65, or MCP67, nVidia recommends the hda-intel module for these chips. The ALSA driver code did not include support for these chips until 1.0.14rc1. ALSA-driver-1.0.14rc1 wasn't included in the kernel until the 2.6.20 series. The current stable version of the kernel is 2.6.20. You will need to a 2.6.20 kernel.
