The driver initially showed in the window but then it disappeared. Rebooting is needed to have it reappear. But it disappears again as soon as I try to configure it. I ran the following command *after* the driver had disappeared from the Sound Prefs window. Evidently, Alsa still knows it's there. $ aplay -l **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: VT82xx [HDA VIA VT82xx], device 0: AD198x Analog [AD198x Analog] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: VT82xx [HDA VIA VT82xx], device 1: AD198x Digital [AD198x Digital] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 As far as I can tell, all the kernel modules are loaded.
