    I'm beginning to see for the first time why you dislike Asus, with this
    board, I had a problem with the first XP2600+ which caused the fans to
    spin up and then it all died, the second one causes the CDROM and HD
    lights to lit, but it doesn't ouput any video, so I pressed into service
    an XP2200+ which works, so on Tuesday I have to take motherboard, memory
    and CPU back to the shop.
    On google I found an article that pointed me to
    http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads, I downloaded and exploded
    linux_2.4.zip, there is a modules.conf file from which I got the details
    of what needed to be in /etc/modprobe.conf, after putting that stuff in
    and changing/deleting a few options, I have full audio using the
    snd-intel8x0 driver that is part of the 2.6.x kernels, I am on 2.6.5-mm4.

    alias char-major-116 snd
    alias sound-slot-0 snd-intel8x0
    alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
    alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0
    alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
    alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
    alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
    alias sound-service-0-11 snd-mixer-oss
    alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
    options snd-intel8x0 id="ICH"
    Regards
    Sid.
