On Windows 7, to get the 1680 x 1050 resolution running on a Samsung SyncMaster 2232BW attached to an ATI 3850 AGP graphics card, you will need two pieces of software:
- The Samsung SM 2232BW driver, from here
- The ATI Catalyst driver (9.1 or over) from here
This is the installation process:
- First, install the ATI driver and reboot
- Then install the Samsung driver
- Select the Analog (and not Digital) version
- Force the mode in the ATI Catalyst Control Center
Sound in Ubuntu using the VIA VT1708/A on-board sound card
The Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) distribution is an almost flawless and amazing distro for desktop use, despite what some say.
Unfortunately, owners of the Asrock 4CoreDual SATA2 motherboard will face sound problems though due to the lack of support for Linux by the manufacturer. Shame on them, they should not be ignoring Linux as a valid OS.
Despite this, there is a workaround for getting the VIA VT1708/A [Azalia HDAC] High Definition Audio Controller to work.
1) Install the "alsa-oss" package using the Synaptic package manager. (v1.0.17-1 at the time of writing)
2) Right-click on the audio icon (top left of desktop) and click "Preferences"
3) At the bottom, change the Profile to "Analog Output" or "Analog Output Duplex". You may choose any surround profiles supported if you have the right speakers. That's it!
Enjoy your Karmic Koala audio.
