Hello, I am forwarding this to the list because I'm about to by a VIA-based laptop for a friend. "I have a question about via's hda audio driver under linux. my notebook is vn896 chipset based, with C7 processor, from FIC company. the audio device in the spec is vt1708a. I installed ubuntu 6.10, and I download the source both from viaarena and alsa-project. it seems that the patch_via.c file in both packages are same. The compiling process is ok and I successfully install the driver. My problem is, the speaker on notebook works well, but the headphone jack, does not work! it is silence from that port, and with alsamixer program, I can only see "master","pcm", and "front" in the playback panel. And I enabled the debug flag in the config, with the kernel debug msg output, it seems that the driver does not detect the hp (headphone) port. What can I do with that? Is there anywhere to modify? Is there anything difference between vt1708 and vt1708a? (from the source code, there is only 1708 and 1709 inside patch_via.c).
