I have a very similar board:
00:11.5 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc.
VT8233/A/8235/8237 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 60)
Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Unknown device 8174
Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 22
I/O ports at ec00 [size=256]
Capabilities: [c0] Power Management version 2
ALSA device list:
#0: VIA 8237 with ALC850 at 0xec00, irq 22
and the 8233/8235 driver works just fine. I have no idea why yours
wouldn't though; this bit of info is about all I can help with. I can
send you my config.gz if you wish.
