Audio Realtek® ALC650 6CH w/built in HP amplifier
for the onboard sound. It says it has the nforce2 chipsets for the
northbridge and southbridge and the lan.
Does anybody know which driver this sound chipset should use?
My approach to this problem would be to first disable the onboard audio
in bios and reboot to let kudzu remove the configuration.
Check and verify the sound modules are not loaded, and that the lines in
modprobe.conf have been removed.
Then do another reboot with the onboard audio enabled to let kudzu
reconfigure the sound and see what the results are.
If it puts back the same lines then the system sees it as an intel audio
chipset. It is possible the same board designation may have different
sound chipsets (some sites even tell you that) although the asus website
lists only th realtek audio chipset for all the variations on your
board..
If that does not fix the sound problem then it will take a lot of deeper
digging to check out why.
BTW: -- PLEASE do not top post. It breaks the continuity of the
conversation.
