notes: system will not allow output to onboard audio. alsamixer does show the internal sound but there is nothing on output nothing on input. I have switched the ASUS motherboard BiOS from HD audio to AC97 as well to no effect, this is a new motherboard as previous motherboard [GA-78LMT-USB] simply stopped output & input from onboard chip
