But the reason I ask -- I had a (fairly recent motherboard) that I used for my mythtv box. So its all set up and running great, but I have no sound. I play with drivers, different outputs, etc etc etc to no avail. hours on mailing lists-- nothing. Turns out the (according to the manual) jumper that activates the rear jacks is installed at the factory, but mine wasn't. On my particular MB, the rear jacks only worked if there were front jacks installed, OR a jumper where the front jacks go. Took me literally hours to figure this out. It was one line buried in the manual that happened to mention this jumper came already installed and had to be removed to use front jacks... so okay, you know they are hooked up, but I'm only suggesting you run through all that stuff one more time and make sure it hooked up right. It'll only take a minute and save you potentially hours of other crap. > > The CM-Stacker case connectors for the front-panel sound jack can use > either Azailia HD audio or AC97 and the MB is the same, selected within > the bios.

I can try switching this over to AC97. well, it's certainly worth a try. remember to only change one thing at a time so you know what the cause was... > > I have poked around aptitude and have selected alsa-player-common, > alsa-player-text, and gnome-alsamixer. > what do you get from lsmod | grep snd ?
