With respect to the noise associated with the via8233,
in my case I have found that it totally dissapeared changing the setting of a sampling rate in the Control Center of KDE (mandrake 9.0).
The following lines show the path trough the KDE menu
Control Center
Sound
Sound Server
Sound IO
use costum sampling rate : 48000
Note that also it is a recommended setting for Yamaha soundcards.
I suppose that this sampling rate must be equal or greater than 44100 samples per second (the sampling rate used for digital audio in CD).
I cannot send other settings in my PC right now, but this is the last one
I changed before getting sound without noise.
