I know, but in this case I got this answer: " Dear Friend : Thank you for contacting ASUS Customer Service. My name is ZYC, and I would be assisting you today. sorry ,due to chipset limitation , when you add a PCI AUDIO card to a board which use VIA VT8237 southbridge controller , the built in AC97 audio will be disabled automaticly . it is a chip limitation without way to fix ." Meantime I tried the patch against the 2.6.13-15 kernel shipped with SuSE 10 (applied without errors), and altough I see PCI: enabled onboard AC97/MC97 devices in the logs, the onboard card doesn't appear in lspci. I'm downloading the 2.6.16-rc6 kernel to try with that one. Mine is an A8V-Deluxe, so I don't know why it didn't work. :-( I have the latest Asus bios and verified that it is enabled in the BIOS (I know, it doesn't really matter, but I mention here).
