doc update for http://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Vendor-Intel

[Paul Winkler]

Hi,

The page at
http://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Vendor-Intel
makes it seem that cards identified as ICH7 must use the hda_intel
driver. This is apparently not always true.  I have a dell desktop
where snd_hda_intel refuses to load.  I fired up alsaconf and it
suggested using the intel8x0.  I tried that and it works fine.

So maybe ICH7 should be added to "chipsets" in the first row on that
page.

Thanks,

- Paul Winkler


p.s. here's some system info:

Right, up to ICH7 it supports both HD-audio and AC97.

Feel free to correct it.  It's a Wiki page ;)

I would have, but it was locked.
Someone has since unlocked it.  Edit done.
