From: Christoph Sassenberg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Question: Is anybody working on that ALC stuff?
Apparently not. However, according to the sources of the alsa-driver-0.5.11 thing from Realtek, it is kind of 'standard' as far as AC97 (or AC'97, I don't know -- there seems to be a subtle difference) is concerned, from what I can tell, so patching the current AC97 sources to get it to work shouldn't be /too/ difficult. Provided that you know /what/ to patch exactly. Which I don't, unfortunately (if one of the admirable gurus here were kind enough as to point us developper wannabees to some crash course to chip sound programming and ALSA 0.9, maybe... :)). However, given VIA's recent messages to the list, I'd say I'm confident that support for VIA's latest southbridges (VT8233A et al) and the underlying chips shouldn't be too much of a long-term problem. Stay put, stay confident! It's great to see companies open up to the open source development way of thinking. BTW, are you sure that your motherboard's southbridge is really a VT8233, and not a VT8233A? I have a gut feeling (based on little to no factual evidence, note) that our problems with recent VIA-based motherboards lie with the southbridge (VT8233A) and not the underlying sound chip (ALC<whatever>). Just an idea anyway. -- S. _______________________________________________________________ Don't miss the 2002 Sprint PCS Application Developer's Conference August 25-28 in Las Vegas -- http://devcon.sprintpcs.com/adp/index.cfm _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-devel
