Brian,
>> AC97 Realtek ALC650 on-board sound. ... a VIA VT8233 device ... <<
I have Red Hat 8.0 on an MSI MS-6380E motherboard. It uses a VIA VT8233A
chipset to provide, among other things, AC97 audio (aka, Realtek ALC650
6-channel audio). I've had several software installs on it.
Sorry, but I don't recall all the details. I was in "make it work" mode
rather that "scientific software testing mode".
Generally: Red Hat 7.3 had no sound, Mandrake 9.0 did have sound, Red
Hat 8.0 install #1 had no sound. But otherwise, I liked RH8, so I turned
off the motherboard sound, stuck in an old PCI sound blaster card, and
then Red Hat 8.0 install #2 DID have sound.
I guess I can confirm your problem. I just didn't spend any time
properly solving it.
So, it's interesting that Mandrake 9.0 and (sorry) windows (for 5
minutes) worked with the VIA motherboard sound.
Hope this helps a little,
Cliff
