I just got one (Athlon 750...mmm...), and it seems to work fine under
ALSA. I'm using the ALSA VIA 686a driver for it; everything got
autodetected fine.
The one thing that doesn't work (that annoys me a little): has anyone
gotten the external MIDI interface to work on this hardware? I'm
assuming that, like every other sound card since the Sound Blaster,
the on-board joystick port uses two pins for a TTL MIDI interface. I
have a box to connect two joysticks, a MIDI IN, and a MIDI OUT to the
port, but it doesn't seem to be working on the new machine. (I should
test that I didn't break the box recently, but that doesn't seem
likely.) Any hints?
