Hi everyone!
Please help me with my problem which I have been trying to solve for some days.
I'm relatively new to Linux so take it easy on me.
I have a Gigabyte GA-M55S-S3 Gigabyte motherboard with an onboard Realtek ALC883 CODEC chip. On my Mepis 64 (kernel 2.6.15-27)this chip is not detected (no entries in lspci for sound or in hal-device-manager) I have no mixer appearing in kmix, no sliders, etc. I deintalled/installed everything related to mixers, sound configuration but in vain. On Windows I have no problems as I had no problems with SimplyMepis 6.0rc2-i386. I have an AMD 3800+ 64bit processor, if that is of any help.PLEASE give me a sollution 'cause I'm desperate. I have to work on windows and I hate it.
thanks in advance
try to compile and install the latest version of alsa, it might have support for your particular chipset. if the latest alsa does not detect it then i have no idea what more you can do.
OK, a thousand thanks for the advice. I will do that. Ithought it to be the sollution but I wanted other opinions too from the more experienced ones out there. Thanks again
