I'm having problems with my sound card in my computer.It's a compaq
presario laptop 706EA with an onboard via 686a sound card.
I have tried with last kernel patches from Garzik with the kernel 2.4.17
and last alsa drivers ( 0.5.12a ).
I can hear the sound only with the higest volume in the mixer and my ear
put in the speaker. It's so much :(
Perhaps the problem isn't the soundcard because the computer have a
hardware sound volume controler, but i'm not sure. does anybody know
where is the problem and how can i solve it?
Thank you very much.
my /proc/pci is this:
