Activating on-motherboard (integrated) sound in Linux

[chy at genuity.com (Chuck Young)]

Ali,

If you want to waste a lot of time and energy...

Boot into the compaq diagnostic partition (assuming you did not overwrite
it) and look at the options for "known" hardware.  The I/O and IRQ of your
on-board hardware (if available) will come in handy if you have the guts to
look for a module and build/load it.  You may need to open the hood and
search for a chip number too.

My Deskpro has BIOS on disk, which sucks BTW.

Good Luck!

I have an Acer motherboard with an on board sound chip. I have never been
able to get it working
on either Windows ME or Linux. I gave up and bought a sound board, and the
sound came up
immediately.
