Introduction

Hello all. My name is Valent and I live in Croatia. Have been playing with LMCE for a number of years now. I would class myself as a user due to my complete lack of any development skills, so am always keen to help in any way I can. By profession I am a Fiber Optics and Networking technician in the ISP industry. In my spare time I enjoy biking, meditating, scuba diving, OpenStreetMap mapping and various other little electronics/DIY projects. I'm Linux and Open Source evangelist and animal rights activist. Any remaining free time is spent with my extremely patient and long-suffering girlfriend with whom I live.

Software

AsRock 330 ION HT

I'll try AsRock 330 ION HT both as MD and as a Core. Then share my experience with it.

Hardware issues

Audio card onboard Asus A7N8X Deluxe by default uses snd_intel8x0 Linux module but that doesn't work at all, then I compiled nvsound driver manually [1], got module built and loaded but still no sound?!?. rperre on IRC also has same motherboard and same issue so we both decided it is best to disable this sound card in bios and install PCI audio card instead.
