Uhmm....
I wrote this:
Code:
cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec


And it shows me that:
Code:

Codec: Generic 1013 ID 4206


Now, i'm not an expert, but that above seems a little bit strange becouse of my Nvidia sound card!

what alsa packages versions are you using?

Wow...are you able to hear any sound?

On my iMac24 and macbook-pro, sound card is detected and no error if I play any sound, but nothing goes output!
Why?
Can you help me?

I would recommend to go to the alsa mailing list, maybe you can provide enough info so the devs can add your card to the project.

Hi folks...
I've tried to use alsa-driver instead of ALSA kernel module.
Now, finally, codec shows Cirrus Login CS4206 (the same shown by Windows!),
but i'm not able to unmute anything becouse no support in kernel (ALSA ect...)
If I change ALSA kernel , alsa-driver shows error during compilation.


How can i resolve that?

Hi boys...good news!!! :lol:
I've tried to use kernel 2.6.33 (masked) and in that there is codec Cirrus Login CS4206!!!
Now i'm able to hear sound, but only from headset...but just a first step!
That above is only a test becouse of nvidia-drivers problem with this version of kernel.
