yep, there was a bug in the driver. already fixed on cvs. but it doesn't matter for the behavior of the driver. the audio part of 8235 is identical with 8233. > > if you have another VIA823x, namely, 8233, 8233C and 8235 chips, you > > must have valid DSX channels. > > I guess this will make me sound stupid, but I don't know what a DSX > channel is or how to get valid ones =) the 8233 (and 8235) chip has two different paths for playback. one is called DSX (direct sound) and 8233 has 4 channels. by using these channels, you can do up to 4 playbacks simultaneously. the spdif is output from the DSX3 channel usually with ac97 slot 10/11. another is the "multi-channel" playback, which supports the 4 or 6 channels outputs. this is supported on every 823x chip. it seems these two outputs are exclusive. if DSX is used, multi-chanenl cannot be used, and vice versa.
