Greetings, all. I've recently bought a Dell Optiplex GX620 box, and am running 5.4-STABLE (as of mid-October) on it. This box has an ICH7 on the motherboard. At boot time, 5.4-RELEASE doesn't recognize the ICH7 in any way--not the ATA controller (seen as "generic"), and not the audio hardware. In particular, I see: pci0: <multimedia, audio> at device 30.2 (no driver attached) My questions: 1) Does 6.0 support the ICH7 audio hardware? 2) If not, is anyone working on support for it? 3) How back-compatible is the ICH7 audio hardware with previous ICHes? That is, is there any chance that merely by hacking the device probe tables, I can "lie" to the current snd_ich driver that the ICH7 is some earlier-model ICH, and get it to work? Many thanks, -Brad, bkarp@cs.ucl.ac.uk
