I have 3 computers with the ASUS A7V8X-X motherboard in them. I have been
running Mandrake 9.1 on them. Mandrake no longer supports this motherboard,
with their 9.2 or 10.0 releases. This AMD type motherboard uses the VIA
KT400 northbridge chip, the VIA 8235 southbridge chip, and the Analog Devices
AD1980 codec for the sound comming off of the southbridge's AC'97 sound
controller. Does anyone in the Debian community know if this combination of
chips is supported by Debian linux or not.
I have an Asus P4PE (Intel 845PE chipset) with an Analog Devices AD1980
sound chip on it. I got the sound on it working fine with the ALSA sound
system. With a 2.4 kernel, I had to download the source code from the ALSA
web site and use the intel8x0 sound driver. I think I've switched
motherboards before I started using the 2.6 kernel so I'm not sure if ALSA
in 2.6 will work with it (I don't see any reason why it wouldn't).
