Ken,
I have an Intel soundcard:
aaron@mycomputername:~$ lspci |grep -e Audio
00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801EB/ER
(ICH5/ICH5R) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 02)
I'm hosed huh.
Not necessarily. It's a crappy chip, but it's not that hard to get it working.
Check ALSA docs or ALSA mailing list, perhaps.
The one in my EEE has been very solid, using ALSA 1.0.18a. Everything works except line
in, which is disabled somehow, but other than that it's fine, and I just spent the
past few hours running JACK on it and praticing stuff for tomorrow.
FWIW, my chip is slightly different than yours:
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio
Controller (rev 02)
Which appears to be the exact same one I have in my Asus Core 2 Duo laptop too, and which
doesn't work at all on that machine with ALSA 1.0.13, so maybe when I finish upgrading
that Asus this week, it'll actually work for the first time ever.
Maybe check /proc/asound/version and see whatcha got in there, and be prepared to download
the most recent ALSA driver source and build/install it.
