Great! This is the code block that will go into the patcher:
Code: if [ `lspci -mn | grep -c -e ".*0403.*10de.*055c.*-ra1.*1565.*820c.*"` -ge 1 ]; then
echo "Your sound device needs newer Realtek ALSA drivers."
echo "Downloading and installing them now."
cd /tmp
/bin/mv /lib/modules/2.6.18.chw-13/updates/alsa .
# The numeric IP address comes from a link on Realtek's site
wget ftp://209.216.61.149/pc/audio/realtek-linux-audiopack-4.06b.tar.bz2
tar xfj realtek-linux-audiopack-4.06b.tar.bz2
cd realtek-linux-audiopack-4.06b
sed -i "s/^\(alsaconf\)/#\1/g" install
./install

The audio patch is in the R5F27 patcher now. In theory, if you reinstalled R5F27 now, you'd get the necessary audio fix automatically with no effort on your part. Thanks for your great troubleshooting of this problem. Now everyone with a similar chipset will benefit!

great! is the latest nvidia driver included too?
for wireless, i had to install the new driver and it went real smooth. i can tell you what i did, if you want to add that too. i managed to get wireless running with WPA2PSK with AES!!! i was very impressed, knowing about linux' history with wireless
however, it sometimes drops the signal though (it's a bit weak at that spot).. i don't use it for browsing or anything. just to get the listings! so i don't need to boost the signal. any suggestions on how to make it search every now and then and if the signal is down, then to start it up again? sorry this is off topic. i did start a new thread and asked this question, but didn't get any replies! http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic. ... highlight=

No, this is just for the audio fix. I'll take a look at your other thread. _________________ KnoppMyth R5.5

The first time installed R5F27 I had no sound while watching TV either.
I found this:
http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-7.html
So I ssh'd into my myth box and entered the following commands:
$ amixer set Master,0 100%,100% unmute
$ amixer set PCM,0 100%,100% unmute
$ amixer set Line,0 75%,75% mute captur
$ amixer set Capture,0 100%,100% captur
And presto I had sound. If that works you can save the your settings as follows:
$ su
# alsactl store
# exit
Hope that helps.
Tim

Tim this is a different issue. you had the correct driver already and only the sound levels were not right. in my case, amixer would not even work. i just didn't have the correct driver and had to update it. normally, this would've been a painless process. but in KM the old driver was in a folder that the installer of the new driver didn't know about and hence it was not removed. the result was that the old driver kept loading and i still wouldn't have any sound. the fix was basically to remove the directory where the old driver was. (see above for the script) and now, Human made this automated via a patch included in any new download of R5F27.

Hey! Did anyone get anywhere on this? This sounds like a problem that I have!
Here's what I have:
ASUS P5K-V mobo with Realtek ALC 883.
(This has in Intel chipset, Intel® G33 / ICH9, rather than nVidia.)
Fresh install of R5F27
.. and I get no sound out of the on-mobo sound. ... except, that I use a PVR-350 with output going to the TV, and I'm configured to use the PVR-350 sound out to the TV.. and that works. (I get the "you got no sound" warning when I go into "watch tv" or play a recording.. of course, I can turn that off. .. but "play any audio" that uses the sound card.. and I'm in trouble.
when I run Code: alsaconf I get Quote: No supported PnP or PCI card found and when I run Code: aplay -l I get Quote: aplay: device_list:222: no soundcards found... and I don't have and /dev/dsp<n> devices. I modified fra's script for the latest ALSA Driver... Code: cd /tmp
mkdir alsa
cd alsa
wget ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/driver/alsa-driver-1.0.15rc3.tar.bz2
tar jxvf alsa-driver-1.0.15rc3.tar.bz2
cd alsa-driver-1.0.15rc3
./configure
make
make install but on the "make", I get (at the end) Quote: make[4]: *** [/tmp/alsa/alsa-driver-1.0.15rc3/i2c/other/tea575x-tuner.o] Error 1
make[3]: *** [/tmp/alsa/alsa-driver-1.0.15rc3/i2c/other] Error 2
make[2]: *** [/tmp/alsa/alsa-driver-1.0.15rc3/i2c] Error 2
make[1]: *** [_module_/tmp/alsa/alsa-driver-1.0.15rc3] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.18-chw-13'
make: *** [compile] Error 2 Thanks! OOOPS  There's more! .. after posting.. I went on to page 2.. etc. fra's second script works with some changes.. (I can't see what was wrong with his "mv" command.. but I had to reconstruct it by copy/paste.) Here's my version: Code: cd /tmp
mv /lib/modules/2.6.18-chw-13/updates/alsa .
wget ftp://209.216.61.149/pc/audio/realtek-linux-audiopack-4.06b.tar.bz2
tar xfj realtek-linux-audiopack-4.06b.tar.bz2
cd realtek-linux-audiopack-4.06b
./install
reboot and it now works!Curiously, I did go over the patcher.sh .. and it didn't see my problem .. Code: lspci -mn | grep -c -e ".*0403.*10de.*055c.*-ra1.*1565.*820c.*" returns 0 If I understand it correctly .. lspci shows me with Quote: Audio device: Intel Corporation Unknown device 293e (rev 02) and this is what you need to add it to the script (I kinda get goofed up in the pattern). but Code: lspci -mn | grep -c -e "293e" returns a "1". _________________ // Brian - Hardware:

glad you didn't have to waste the time i wasted on this problem
the patcher may or may not detect things right, since i'm guessing that different systems will recognize their soundcards differently...
but at least there's always this thread to help doing it manually

I did spend a couple of hours on this as well (no where near the amount of time that you spend on it) but even still, I don't view any of this as a "waste of time".
Thanks to all that contributed!

BluesBrian and Fra, please run this code block and tell me if it says "detected":
Code: if [[
(`lspci -mn | grep -c -e ".*0403.*10de.*055c.*-ra1.*1565.*820c.*"` -ge 1) ||
(`lspci -mn | grep -c -e ".*0403.*8086.*293e.*-r02.*1043.*829f.*"` -ge 1)
]]; then
echo "detected"
