I visited today the ALSA project site to check if a new ALSA driver is available. I am currently working with Alsa driver 0.9 rc6 and my sound card is a VIA-8233. It is working fine. A newer driver 0.9 rc7 is available since last Feb, 17th. I found a note at the end of the following page that says that VIA-82xx driver is broken in 0.9 rc7: http://alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/template.php3?company=VIA&card=&chip=via8233a&module=via82xx It recommend us to stay with rc6. Please take note. Do we have to wait for rc8 to have it fixed? -- This Message is sent from My R. Hat 8.0 Linux server .-. .-. | Gustavo Zamorano S.
