Re: problem for VIA 8233A

["René Kermis" <kermis@gmx.de>]

Hi,

you have to use the cvs-version. The driver for 8233A is not included in
0.5.12a and 0.9.0rc1.
Takashi Iwai corrected some bugs in the driver on 31-05-02 so that it is
possible to use it with the 8233A. I have tested the driver on an EPoX 8K3A+
(KT333, VT8233A). The sound quality is better than from the commercial
OSS-module.

Regards,
René
