I have a pritty new Asus A7V600-X mainbord
the motherbord manual says it has an ADI 1888 - AC'97 complient audio Codec
the southbridge on the bord is VIA VT8237
so my kernel has the VIA 8233 southbridge sound module installed
i get sound from the computer but only from the window manager (enlightenment says -swooosh- when i moove desktops) and then only very quietly. the alsa mixer says everything is turned up, and i have checked the other audio i/o ports to see if i wired it up worong, no joy.
also, games and internet sound is silent
