It would help in diagnosing the problem. you do get sound now however correct ?this could be a hardware design issue. here is the chipset pdf. I am trying to see how many audio layouts one could generate with such a chip. its likely the output may all be internally connected and there is additional control implementation on the chipset to configure which audio circuts are active. thats the datasheet http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CBMQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.intel.com%2FAssets%2FPDF%2Fdatasheet%2F301473.pdf&rct=j&q=Intel%20ICH6%20&ei=gDIMTdbeBs2jnQfErLH5DQ&usg =AFQjCNEOj7nJSrVbp9O3mdF5Bx-mHoTqMw white paper briefing describing chip capabilitys. http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=2&ved=0CBgQFjAB&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww3.intel.com%2FAssets%2FPDF%2Fappnote%2F301462.pdf&rct=j&q=Intel%20ICH6%20&ei=gDIMTdbeBs2jnQfErLH5DQ&usg=AFQjCNEaZKLrD1FuqiWAUR8X5_XJQMTH1g its entirely possiable depending on how the implemented certain features on teh chip that the oss driver doesn't fully support your MB layout. -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/6988#comment:8> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
