Situation

You want to put your motherboard's integrated sound card (e.g. Elitegroup K7S5A) into operation.

However, the command "lspci" produces the following output:


Multimedia audio controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SiS7012 PCI Audio Accelerator (rev 160).

Procedure

Unfortunately there are no Alsa drivers available for the sound chip SIS 7012 at the moment. Nevertheless, this sound chip can be put into operation with the commercial Open Sound System driver (version 3.9.5c or higher). The corresponding driver can be found at the following URL:

Please note that the setup of this driver exceeds the scope of our free installation support.
