Commenting a recent news item on amiga-news.de, Davy Wentzler of OS4 fame said the on-board sound of the AmigaOne does not work, furthermore explaining the chip is physically not present on AmigaOnes produced the last 9 months.
Frank Gutschow said on 05-Mär-2004, 23:38: "Meines erachtens sollte definitiv wirklich ersteinmal der Onboard-Chip des AmigaOne unterstützt werden."
Davy Wentzler answered on 05-Mär-2004, 23:45: "I'm gonna say it once more: it doesn't work. There's even a big chance, the chip is not physically present anymore on boards manufactured in the past 9 months."
Will Eyetech exchange all defect and component missing AmigaOnes or will they refund users that received broken hardware?

| AmigaOne no on-board sound? : Comment 123 of 135 | ANN.lu |

As indeed it does, as was explained many times in this (remarkably sad and lame) thread that just makes people like me who are merely interested in the amiga just want to leave the current scene and forget all about it.
I think that the AmigaOne is a lame board, but not because of the northbridge. It is 1999 technology being sold at 2050 prices. The Pegasos2 is marginally better.
Hopefully chipsets for the 970 will be up to date and allow modern functionality to be integrated into upcoming motherboards. I'm talking about:
- PCI Express x16 (or at least AGP 8x)
- A couple of PCI Express x1 slots
- and 3 or 4 standard PCI slots
- Integrated SATA (4 ports)
- Integrated GigE Ethernet
- Integrated 5.1 channel audio
- USB2 and Firewire |
