What is this BULL* via sound drivers create more problems than they solve the fact is there is a problem with interrupts with these chipsets. I love Linux and use it every day. The best way is to use a decent soundcard (sblive etc..) works fine !! (accounting pracitce in PARIS) I have found serveral workaround for the via drivers but it depends on which kernel you are using.. you can call me on +330146062265 As an installer of linux systems I have noticed most of the promblems is due to bad hardware
