Hello! I'm going to buy a notebook and trying to decide what chipset it should be built on. Vast majority of Intel-based Centrinos are built on 915GM + ICH6-M (Alviso) chipset. As I've read in datasheet ICH6-M contains two different sound engines: good old AC97 and new Intel's "High Definition audio" (which AFAIK isn't supported by our sound driver). Engines can't work together, only one of them can be enabled. I know that our sound driver supports AC97 engine, but will it always be sufficient in order to use notebook's audio? I suspect different notebooks will have different wiring between ICH6-M and codecs. I would like to know positive/negative experience with ICH6-M audio on modern ASUS notebooks under FreeBSD (6.* or CURRENT).
