Yesterday I informed our LSI (inheritor of the former AgereSystems code) of the desirability of updated the Linux agrsm code, to include support for the host 8086:3b56 Audio device: Intel Corp 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset High Definition Audio of their 11c11040 chip. One shouldn't assume that a fix will soon be provided. While LSI staff are typically sympathetic, until some major buyer of their chips will sponsor the coding, management will not make the investment in Linux coding. But to their credit, they recently provided an update providing support for the new PCI card 11c1:0630 modem chip, together with an update of the older code for the 11c1:0620 chip.
