I think the "Avance Logic ALC200/200P" message comes from the ALSA 0.5.12a
snd-card-via8233 driver.
You have decided not to try the Realtek driver you say in a later post
because it's based on an earlier version of ALSA. I suggest moving the
snd-card-via8233.o.gz file out of the way and try the Realtek driver.
It may have been modified by Realtek to support the ALC201A chip. You
identified the chip on the mainboard? That's very good of you :) HTH,
