Hello,

I have the abit nf7sl mainboard with soundstorm and s/pdif that i want to use, because analogue sound output is really nasty.

Only howto to get it work i found was this:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=253725

Ots with a patch for really ols

finally the 2.6.24-patch worked. I could compile the nvsound module.

I dit everything like in the howto

blacklist snd_intel8x0 >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist

install nvsound /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install nvsound ; sleep 1; /usr/bin/nvmix-reg -f /etc/nvmixrc -L >/dev/null 2>&1 || : remove nvsound { /usr/bin/nvmix-reg -f /etc/nvmixrc -S >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove nvsound

/etc/modprobe.d/nvidia

I could load the module, start th nvmixer and choose 5.1 no problem.

But i couldnt deactivate the intel8x0. I put it in the /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base-blacklist

I put the install nvsound.. in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base and uncommented the snd_intel8x0.

I started alsaconf but i couldnt choose the new module.

I dont understand al this alsa-chaos.

Would be great if sb help me. I will write a howto about this, i promise ;)

Its with a patch for really old smaller kernel-2.6.16 drivers from nvidia.

finally the 2.6.24-patch worked. I could compile the nvsound module.

I did everything like in the howto

blacklist snd_intel8x0 in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist

install nvsound /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install nvsound ; sleep 1; /usr/bin/nvmix-reg -f /etc/nvmixrc -L >/dev/null 2>&1 || : remove nvsound { /usr/bin/nvmix-reg -f /etc/nvmixrc -S >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove nvsound

in /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia

I could load the module, start th nvmixer and choose 5.1 no problem.

But i couldnt deactivate the intel8x0. I put it in the /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base-blacklist

I put the install nvsound.. in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base and commented out the snd_intel8x0.

I started alsaconf but i couldnt choose the new module.

I dont understand al this alsa-chaos.
