That's a simple solution. However, it is possible to make the via chip
work. I use an Aopen AK33 mainboard with the VT82C686 chip onboard.
The funny thing is that a got it working with one kernel (compiled in,
not module). Sometime later (probably after a kernel upgrade, I don't
remember) it stoped working, sortof. I got the same (or very similar)
behavior as you, the codec looks to 48kHz. I _was_ able to play sound
though, using xmms. mpg123 did not work. Unfortunately, when xmms was
playing it stoped responding to interaction almose entirely, thus I was
not able to adjust the volume in a usefull manner.
Anyway, I currently run 2.4.12-ac6 with the via sound as a module. So
far it's been working fine with this kernel, although I belive it should
be broken in som other manners.
The modules I use are listed bellow.
Good luck,
Emil
