Hi,
when listing my hardware with lshw I find some stuff build
into my ASUS Crosshair IV Formula, which I seem not to use
and I like to know, for what it is good for:
These are excerpts from the output of lshw:

lspci -k of those device/chips/whatever does say for the nvidia audio:
08:00.1 Audio device: nVidia Corporation GF108 High Definition Audio Controller
(rev a1)
Subsystem: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd. Device 2304
Kernel driver in use: HDA Intel
Kernel modules: snd-hda-intel
but...for what reason there is an audio device in my graphics card?
Sounds to me like a bicycle with onboard toaster... ;)
for the smbus thingy as for the ISA-bridge there no additional info. For what
reason
there is an ISA bridge on a board which skipped floppy controller and
IDE???
How can I make what use of it?
Thank you very much in advance for any hint !
Have a nice weekend!
Best regards,
mcc
