Newly-built mITX system. The temperatures are way out - the BIOS gives the CPU at 45-50C.

Looks great. How did you deal with the dual sound cards?

Give me chance, Jerry - I only finished building it an hour ago, and I haven't connected any speakers yet. There's a few other things to sort out - I'm using the 2 HDDs from an older machine. MX booted fine, but WinXP didn't want to know. Even in safe mode it goes back to the grub screen after 2 secs. I don't need it, so I will get rid of it. First impressions are good, so I will probably add an SDD. Pic attached.

Do you mean it spontaneously reboots? Is that Windows Safe Mode, or the safe boot in grub?

The problem is that it87 module that lm-sensors gets the temps from doesn't correctly identify the thermal sensors in the AMD APUs (A8 & A10 series). You can remedy this by forcing the selection when the module is loaded. Try:

Code: Select all

rmmod it87
modprobe it87 force_id=0x8728
That should provide more correct temps.

The sensors that the k10temp module reads for A8 & A10 APUs are internal readings used to balance use of the cores and they do not correspond to real temperatures. I would blacklist that module so those don't show up.

The only option in the BIOS is to disable Onboard HD Audio. Whichever way this is set - no sound. Also, I have no volume control in the panel.

After looking at everything else, I installed pulseaudio. The Configuration tab gave me 2 x Built-in Audio Profile drop-downs. The first had Digital Stereo (HDMI) Output only, and the second had a dozen options. I turned off the first and set the second to Analog Stereo Output. Sound fine and setting it to Analog Stereo Duplex gave a slightly increased volume. The key to sound was turning off HDMI - with that on, no setting worked.

No luck with that, Tim - rmmod it87 gives "Module it87 is not currently loaded" and it doesn't appear to be present on the system.
