hi Robert, i have an "Elitegroup" mainboard with the same chipset on it, which i've managed to get sound out of using the alsa drivers (http://www.alsa-project.org) ; also under kernel 2.4.19, using the alsa-0.9.0 series (0.9.0-rc?)...
i'm not clear on the "official" debian procedure for building alsa -- you need to rebuild it whenever you install a new kernel.... at any rate, the alsa 'card' for this chipset is called something like "via686a"... marmosets, Bryan Robert James Kaes wrote: > Hi, > I have a MSI KT7 Pro2-A motherboard with a vt82c686b chipset.
