I've been using DSL on a pendrive with this for a while. The onboard AC97 sound is recognized and the sound drivers load up. I see the visuals on xmms when I play a radio station. All the functions of dmix seem to be working. There just is no sound out of the audio line out port. Anyone else using a mini-itx board?

I also tried the alsadebs package and it also loaded up fine and appeared to be working, but no sound out. Is it possible I have a hardware problem?

this might 'sound' daft, but did you turn up the volumes?

Yes. First thing I thought of. When I lsmod after starting xmms I can see that the soundcore drivers are in use and the via82cxxx_audio driver is also in use. Dmix and xmms both show activity, stereo or mono, however the broadcast is being transmitted and the xmms visuals are animated, but nosound output.

Looks like it's probably a hardware problem, sorry to say. I wish I had a cheap way to get it fixed. I don't want to buy another motherboard right away.
