I have recently buy a based ECS K7S6A PC, and after installing my SuSE 7.1 Professional Linux I discovered that audio didn't perform.

It uses a SiS 7012 Audio chip. How can I configure it tu run?.

Greetings.

I think (emphasis on 'THINK') that this chip can make use of the standard AC97 codec.... so:

/sbin/modprobe ac97

should load the correct drivers. This is just my best guess. I have an ECS K7S5A (very similar board) and my on-board audio will work with just the AC97 loaded.

SuSe 7.1 is really old... hmm. Under the normal in-kernel sound modules support was added to for the SIS7012 into the i810_audio module around 2.4.18, I don't know where it fits under ALSA, which is the sound module set that SuSe uses by default. This might require upgrading the kernel entirely as I don't know if the current source for just the sound card will compile seperately with that old of a kernel. SuSe 7.1 was 2.4.3???

Just to make certain, you have one of these under /sbin/lspci right?

00:02.7 Multimedia audio controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SiS7012 PCI Audio Accelerator (rev a0)

After trying your suggestions, I hope that the best solution will be install and configure a new kernel, 2.4.20.

Thanks for your help.

I have download yesterday the new kernel, and it was as simle as config and compile it. Now it sounds, bu I still have a little problem at the first sound played in the X-Window.
