[Alsa-user] alc655

[Cristian Z. <za...@fx...>]

Hi

I have a gigabyte IPE8000 mainboard with realtek alc655 codec.=20
I am using Slackware 9.1 and i have installed alsa 9.8 (alsa-driver, alsa-l=
ib,=20
alsa-oss and alsa-utils) in order to get my sound working.=20
=46rom a previous post I understood it is possible to get alsa 9.8 to recog=
nize=20
alc655, so i suppose I am missing something in my installation....Here it i=
s:

I installed using ./configure, make, make install for all 4 packages and th=
en=20
I used ./snddevices, without getting any errors......

When using alsaconf, it finds=20
1. "intel8x0 - Intel Corp.:Unknown device 24d5 (rev 02) " and=20
2. "legacy - Probe legacy ISA (non Pnp) chips"

Using the first choice, the sound is extremely distorted at times, and OK a=
t=20
other moments........ I presume that even if intel8x0 is an ac97 codec too,=
=20
it is a little different than the alc655, so I am surprised that it even=20
works.

I tried writing in /etc/modules.conf but it didn't  work. I have a feeling=
=20
this is where I am mistaken....Can anyone help me with a specific=20
modules.conf sample file?

Thank you
