Or so I thought. It turns out that the Neomagic sound driver in 5.3 doesn't like the Dell Inspiron 3500's version of the Neomagic 256AV. Bear in mind that this had been working just fine in 4-stable for years. I managed to build a version of the driver with the appropriate messages turned on and its response is: pcm0: this is a non-ac97 NM256AV, not attaching The relevant bit of the dmesg is found-> vendor=0x10c8, dev=0x8005, revid=0x20 bus=1, slot=0, func=1 class=04-01-00, hdrtype=0x00, mfdev=1 cmdreg=0x0202, statreg=0x0290, cachelnsz=0 (dwords) lattimer=0x00 (0 ns), mingnt=0x00 (0 ns), maxlat=0x00 (0 ns) intpin=b, irq=11 powerspec 1 supports D0 D3 current D0 and pciconf -l -v says none1@pci1:0:1: class=0x040100 card=0x008f1028 chip=0x800510c8 rev=0x20 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Neomagic Corporation' device = 'NM2200 MagicMedia 256AV Audio Device' class = multimedia subclass = audio Nothing has changed since 4-stable, but the new driver certainly doesn't like this device. When I have time I'll try to see what is different between the -stable driver and the 5.3 driver, but that may not be until next weekend... If there's any other information I can provide before then, please let me know. -- Frank Mayhar frank@exit.com http://www.exit.com/ Exit Consulting http://www.gpsclock.com/ http://www.exit.com/blog/frank/
