For about two years now, the Intel Corporation 82801BA/BAM AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 02)
on the mainboard in an old IBM NetVista Type 6578-RAU has produced no sound for ALSA
in Lenny and currently in Squeeze. Settings in alsamixer appear OK. Skype, speaker-test
and VLC allow the device to be selected but none produce sound from it. There is no problem
with sound from a C-media USB audio adapter.
A number of bug reports mention the 82801BA/BAM but I've found no mention of this problem.
Any ideas?
Thanks, ... Peter E.

I have a medium-age Fry's computer that I bought new but on the cheap
with Lindows, or something like that instead of Win. It was a real
Linux without any aps, and you had to _buy_ any aps you wanted. It got
SuSE 9.x in jig time, and then on up to 11.1, when I gave up SuSE
because I could never get any sound out of it. The MOBO and the case
both have the same model number, GQ3121. I don't know what kind of
sound processor it has. If you know of a Linux command that will
tell me what the sound chip is, I will run it on its present system,
PCLINUXOS, which does make sound. So does Puppy Linux on that machine.
Anyway, if you know of that command, I will post the results of the
test. Maybe you have discovered why SuSE was silent.

I once had one of those machines, a Fry's GQ3121. if I recall, it has an
SiS700 series chipset; I'd have to contact the new owner and let me see
if he'll let me run lspci on it, or still has the folder with lspci, etc
printouts.
