[AG-TECH] Audio trouble at AG2.4

[Jason Bell]

G'day Andrew and Doug

I can confirm that I have a Dell Latitude D620 laptop with an HD audio
card that works fine for both Windows XP and Linux (Dual Boot).  

For linux, I install the latest Beta ALSA drivers.  I simply use the OSS
audio device within RAT and everything works fine.

Cheers,
Jason.

On WinXP, the SoundMax and SigmaTel HD onboard audio work with rat.

The Realtek HD audio appears as 3 mixer devices with the Windows volume 
control mixer application :
  Realtek HD Audio output
  Realtek HD Audio input
  Realtek HD Digital input

rat doesn't currently support audio devices that appear as separate
input 
and output devices. With Windows Vista, all sound devices now appear as 
separate playback and recording devices, so rat doesn't work with any 
soundcard on Vista.
