I am new to linux. I've tried ubuntu live cd...and it was perfect, everything worked fine. So thought i would give DSL a try...i am using the live cd. I was able to configure the network without probs, but i don't know what to do about the sound. I tried searching the whole day resisting to post. But can't find anything for my soundmax audio...
I am having a Asus K8v-x motherboard with soundmax audio. Plz guys, help me out...

It looks like you should be able to get your soundcard working with ALSA. It is available as a dsl extension at http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub....ebs.dsl

You'll have to do some reading about how to configure your system to use it once it is installed. It looks like there is an auto-config tool that you run from the command line - alsaconfig.

The SoundMAX chip is integrated onto motherboards, and I think the driver is then determined by the mainboard chipset. Your motherboard is VIA, so I think (?) the OSS driver would be via82cxxx_audio.o. Try this -
modprobe via82cxxx_audio

FYI,

The alsadebs.dsl extension is for DSL versions 0.8 through 1.5 ONLY

If you have DSL 2.0, get the alsa.dsl extension from the myDSL testing section.
