You can check if your sound drivers are properly installed running: 'aplay -l'
You should see below lines, if you don't, it means the drivers are not properly installed:

**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: ALC887 Analog [ALC887 Analog]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 1: ALC887 Digital [ALC887 Digital]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 3: NVIDIA HDMI [NVIDIA HDMI]

Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 9: NVIDIA HDMI [NVIDIA HDMI]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0


So, there are two sound cards: an Intel and a Nvidia
Card 0/0 is the INTEL analog/spdif (green connector at the back of the computer)
Card 0/1 is the INTEL digital/optical/spdif (green connector + optical connector)

Card 1 is the NVIDIA HDMI sound output.

Hi Romain,

I see only:

Code:

**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: ALC887 Analog [ALC887 Analog]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 1: ALC887 Digital [ALC887 Digital]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

What to check / do to confirm if drivers are indeed incorrectly installed and what to do to fix it?

I have installed the latest NVIDIA ION drivers and it looked like a success, atleast the video etc works as it should and the right version number is reported.

Thanks in advance!

i ll try flash 10.1 and see if vdpau support has been implemented

Don't hold your breath, atleast I never got it to play smooth flash >480p. But then again I'm not much of a benchmark on what can be done with Linux and what not.

You should have the same module as me running (at least all the nvidia and sound related one).
If not try: 'modprobe snd*' and then 'aplay -l' to see if it worked.
If it doesn't work because the command is wrong, you can modprobe each module one by one. (ex: modprobe snd_hda_codec_nvhdmi)

[Romain]

Some picture of my box:

1st setup using 2x 40x40 fans. Too noisy... I had to buy potentiometer but I preferred to go for the 2nd setup.





2nd setup using 1x 100x100 fan screwed on the heatsink + 2x resistance that I got with a Noctua heatsink. The fan operates at 1000rpm instead of 2000rpm by default.

Hi,

I ran lsmod and saw a lot of snd prefixed stuff missing. Added all of them using modprobe, but still no HDMI when running aplay -l.

Hi does any1 know if i can install snow leopard on this mobo?

Is illegal. That's why Apple's hardware cost twice as others, because they want you to spend money. That's the price for thinking to be cool.
I suggest you to buy a mac mini.

[BORIStheBLADE]

Quick question for the ASUS AT5IONT-I owners.

I was wondering if any of you have been able to suspend or hibernate XBMC live with this motherboard running any of the new betas?

I have not been able to and wanted to see what the rest experiences have been.

thanks

[Nakebod]

Hi,

After reading many posts this topic, which contains a lot of useful information about the memory, I've decided to use this motherboard for my new HTPC, and later combined as fileserver, download machine and webserver.
At this moment I'm waiting for delivery, which is hopefully this week.

If you are bored, I wrote an article about my "yet to be build" setup.
When I have the motherboard I'm planning to write a review about it, but that can take some time.

[whatnot]

VDPAU is not supported by Flash for Linux yet, but it looks like Adobe is finally looking into it:
http://www.linuxtech.net/news/VDPAU_Supp...lugin.html

Yep, got this confirmed by adobe too. They told me it's a known issue but there is no schedule yet they can confirm.

[whatnot]

Strange

Any thoughts Romain what I could do next? Except PM you and ask for a VNC remote support

[Nakebod]

Got my mobo today. Even when I thought I was playing safe by buying QVL memory, the board itself didn't have the latest BIOS.
So I have to call the webshop tomorrow, maybe I can just borrow a 1 GB memory module, otherwise I have to RMA the shizzle for a lousy BIOS update.

And.. I thought that I replaced my DVD drive in my normal PC for a SATA drive when I upgraded my system, but I didn't So I don't have a DVD drive at the moment, which I wanted to use during the installation. So I have to buy a SATA drive to install the system, and then I can swap it with my normal DVD drive, I don't really need a DVD drive in my HTPC.

Hi Romain and whatnot. I have the same problem with my Asus AT5IONT-I board - no HDMI sound. When typing "aplay -l" i get the same result as whatnot - no HDMI found.

aplay -l

Code:

Romain - do you have a asound.conf file in your /etc folder?

[airtonix]

Has anybody had success getting audio through the HDMI port using any flavor of linux?

Yes it shouldn't be too hard.

I'd also steer clear of Ubuntu 10.10 for now. Early adopters etc etc.

[airtonix]

I'm quite IT literate with 20 years under my belt, but now that I've started my trials with linux I'm like a newborn.

Then you're not actually as competent with computer as Windows would have led you to believe.

And ppl wonder why linux isn't more widespread and everyone is using windows.

They do?
