I wrestled it last fall. Following instructions from the ALSA homepage to the letter I installed ALSA drivers but never got it working 100% - some games just remained silent or crashed (xmms and CD-player worked OK as well as KDE sound). It did not crash on my comp, fortunately. As I am not really demanding about sound quality but wish everything in good working order, I disabled this onboard Via crap-chip from bios and stuffed just another cheapo SB clone into my box. Works without a hitch.
