Product: Installation
Component: hardware
Summary: wrong soundchip detected
Version: 1.803
Platform: PC
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: minor
Priority: P2
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
My PC is a Gericom Commander P4 1.8GHz laptop, purchased 4 month ago. When I
installed 9.1 RC1 as an upgrade, the install detected the soundchip to be
VIA8233 instead of the really present CMOS version VIA82C33. The same happened
minutes ago when trying RC2
This is roughly compatible but results in strong static-like noise superposed to
the sound output when playing numeric samples (as in .WAV, .MP3 etc...).
If I manually switch (using harddrake) to the VIA82CXX driver, and then restart
the X server, the problem is gone. I'm working in the HW bussiness so I quicly
found out, but for non-tech users this could be less easy to guess.

PhB
