Maybe that's why you got it second hand :laugh:

Happens to all of us.

From your lspci, the firewire controller isn't listed there either. Is there any other card you know works that you can try in, say, slot 1 with slot 2-5 empty? Is the winmodem a pci card? Does it actually work, or just detect? It could be that the whole pci part of the board is dead. Might be a blown cap.

The noacpi thing wouldn't matter. I made the suggestion on a hunch, before I found out that mb does not use the via bridge for audio, unlike mine...

Yes it's pci, and yes it works...I'm using it now. I was using a different winmodem (Lucent) on the other board, but it didn't work on this one so I swapped for the Agere.

The Asus site had nothing about this board, as far as I could find...it seems to be unsupported now, and the asus website lacks any logical navigation.

Look again - see downloads. You might need a fully featured browser to move through the site though.

- looks like your c-media audio chipset is the correct one
- might need to use/force apic? (I guess you've already checked for irq conflicts, etc)
- you can use a dos bootdisk to flash your bios

Here's a dos bootdisk from bootdisk.com, in case you don't have one:

Although I'm not certain this was the probem, it seems to be simply a matter of removing "noacpi" from my boot options. I'd made some changes to the bios, reset the bios, and made a couple more changes, so I can't be 100% positive. In any case, I now have audio using my pci soundblaster.

I was hesitant to upgrade the bios because the upgrade path is apparently very dependent on the current bios version, and I couldn't find the version number for mine.

Thanks to all for taking the time to help.

EDIT: there seems to be some serious jumping now, both with audio and video files....I'll have to look into it again later.
