VT82C686B Sound Problem
hi Robert,
i have an "Elitegroup" mainboard with the same chipset on it,
which i've managed to get sound out of using the alsa drivers
(http://www.alsa-project.org) ; also under kernel 2.4.19,
using the alsa-0.9.0 series (0.9.0-rc?)...
i'm not clear on the "official" debian procedure for building
alsa -- you need to rebuild it whenever you install a new
kernel.... at any rate, the alsa 'card' for this chipset is
called something like "via686a"...
marmosets,
Bryan
