Greetings,

I installed FC2 from the standard DVD on a machine with the following hardware:

- Soltek SL75FRN2-L motherboard with nVidia nForce2 chipset
- nVidia FX5200 AGP graphics card
- Onboard Realtek AC'97 audio
- Wireless M$ keyboard and mouse


You will need to download the Nvidia Chipset drivers from www.nvidia.com website, and install them to get sound working etc. (I don't have a Nforce/2 mobo, but from what I've read on the web, you will need to do this)


The nvidia chipset driver may not help. He says he has a 'Onboard Realtek AC'97 audio' chip, not the nforce2 audio chip.


Have you run alsaconf? If not, give that a try, and see if your audio gets detected. You might confirm which audio chipset you have by doing a

   lspci -v |grep -i audio



Correct, my mobo doesn't have nforce audio. It has the more basic Realtek chips. I discovered that I actually do get sound, but only on the front 2 channels, not the surround channels. In Windows, the audio output ports can be configured so that the microphone port becomes the rear (or surround) port. I need to do this in Fedora as well, since I have speakers connected to both front and rear outputs.

Any ideas?

thanks,
