I see, I thought you had the machine already, and wanted get it working with linux. If you have not brought the motherboard yet, I would advise you to purchase one with Intel Chips on it. At least we have the Datasheets for all those.

Thanks James. I'll keep that in mind.

I guess you are answering my question in the negative? Alsa does not
today support the Realtek chips on this motherboard?

Thanks,
Mark



alsa supports those chips, but I am not sure how reliable they are. I have never used them. I have seen a lot of IRQ problems (E.g. lost IRQs) with VIA chipsets lately, mainly due to linux not being able to program the VIA chipsets with the correct IRQ infomation.
If you can get reliable interrupts with that Motherboard, the alsa driver will work well.


Cheers
James
