What I have found is that ALSA can not set volume levels with rc1 on the ICH7. The audio works, but you can not control the volume, so you may or may not hear sound depending on the levels on boot. Trying to run alsamixer will also error out. Mikkel -- Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for thou art crunchy and taste good with Ketchup!
