No sound with emachine with ATI IXP SB400

[rokngeodude]

Wow, I've tried a whole bunch of different things. I've scoured these forums and tried everything from downloading the alsa drivers and compiling them (which, in short, I get this error after using the make command )

Then I tried muting the ICH channel with alsamixer (which I figured muting something wouldn't make the sound work, but I'm a total noob)

So here is my output with lspci -v

Kinda hard to watch DVDs with no sound
Thanks for all the help, even if its a "Man, that sucks" (makes me feel better)

Re: No sound with emachine with ATI IXP SB400

I had the no sound problem, and I went into Kmix and clicked the Switches tab. Then I turned off the External Amplifier option, and bang, sound!

Re: No sound with emachine with ATI IXP SB400

Kinda hard to watch DVDs with no sound

That's what they make subtitles for.

In other news, man, that sucks.
