Is it me or does support not exist for this soundcard? I cannot find support for this anywhere

Thanks

AC'97 doesn't tell you what kind of sound card it is, you should have some sort of name along with it...

vvlaw, your config looks correct. have you also emerged the alsa-utils and alsa-lib packages?

[Taktykal_Gentoo]

My grep says this when i lspci | grep -i audio

bash-2.05b#lspci | grep -i audio
0000:00:14.5 Multimedia audio controller: ATI Technologies Inc: Unknown device 4341

anyone have any ideas?


it is an ac 97 soundcard but it is reading it as an ati soundcard
