Bug 96591 – Sound does not work on Shuttle SN25P (FN25 mobo, nforce4 chipset, snd_ice1724 module, kernel 2.6.12)

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description toon 2005-06-20 03:30:29 UTC]

The sound hardware of this mobo IS supported, but it is not detected correctly.
I can make it work with a one-line patch. This patch is only a demonstration,
it is NOT proposed as the final solution. I have confirmed this problem with
both the gentoo-sources 2.6.11 and 2.6.12 kernels.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

Just to confirm that sound is working out-of-the-box now on the Shuttle SN25P.
Thanks!
