I have been trying to get the sound working on my
Asus A8N-VM MB
the chip is a AD1986A, which according to posts both here and on the nvnews website should be supported by alsa 1.0.11 and the 2.6.17 kernel.
Using the Alsa method I install the driver and the utils package and then run alsaconf, this advises me that I have a hda-intel Nvidia MCP-51 High Definition Audio (rev 2a) which I select and then let the alsa util modify the alsa file in modules.d/alsa
when the alsaconf tries to run the init script it errors with hda-intel: no codecs found!
I have tried forcing the model by appending the line options snd-hda-intel model=AD1986A
again I get the error above.
below is my alsa file
Code:
#ALSA portion
        alias char-major-116 snd
        alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
# module options should go here
options snd-hda-intel model=AD1986A

# OSS/Free portion

# card #1

# --- BEGIN: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. ---
# --- ALSACONF version 1.0.11 ---
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel
# --- END: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. ---


Any and all help would be appreciated

Regards

Tim

Well, I don't know how much help I can be--I'm using alsa 1.0.10-r2 with "options snd-hda-intel position_fix=1" in my modules.d/alsa file (to fix the squealing bug in 1.0.10--apparently not needed in 1.0.11). I don't use the "model=AD1986A" line. I do have "options snd cards_limit=1" in there, don't know if it affects anything. One important thing is to make sure you have sound enabled in your kernel (Device Drivers->Sound->Sound card support), but DON'T select anything related to OSS or Alsa in the kernel configuration if you're going to use the alsa-driver package in portage. One more thing: make sure you have ALSA_CARDS="hda-intel" in your make.conf before you emerge alsa-driver.

Hope that helps!
