Yes, that was the first place I checked. It shows:
VIA Technologies, Inc. VT1708/A [Azalia HDAC] (VIA High Definition
Audio Controller)
Module: snd-hda-intel
The PCM device setting space is blank.
Under the System tab, it shows:
ALSA Driver version: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.14rc3
ALSA Lib package(s): alsa-lib-1.0.17-1.el5
ALSA Utils package(s): alsa-utils-1.0.17-1.el5
The "latest" audio driver I could find was the 1.40 patched driver,
and that didn't work at all (could not even recognize the sound card).
I would only consider the question stupid if I had already answered
it, which I did not - thanks.
