Asus A8N-SLI soundcard/headphone not recognized/working
- by Remon
I have an Asus A8N-SLI with built-in sound-card which in the front has headset connection.
Alsamixer V1.0.25 says Card: HD-Audio Generic Chip:ATI R6xx HDMI. Only option it gives is S/PDIF nothing else. I can only select the Generic sound-card others are not available. It seems it is not being recognized by Ubuntu. My technical skills are limited and I have searched for similar problems but could not find a solution.
Any help in how to proceed forward is therefore greatly appreciated.
I also have a windows focus problem with Gnome3 and Unity for which I will make a new question. Between those two problems it works like a charm as always. Though I'm only going to upgrade the laptop to 12.04 if I have the desktop running smoothly.
