I have an ASUS K8V-MX motherboard, which had never been used to play
sounds previously (was previously a headless development box). Recently
re-purposed it, and installed MythBuntu 10.04, and could not sound to
work at all, using the onboard VIA 8237, with the snd_via82xx module
(this was using ALSA though, not pulseaudio). Had tried everything in
software (mixers, checked modules, etc), and had begun to conclude it
was this bug. But after many hours finally saw this post: http://ubuntu-
virginia.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=919634&page=2 , and added a
jumper to pins 5-6 and 9-10 on the motherboard's FP_AUDIO block. Then
after undoing some of the software changes I had made, sound "just
worked". So, this hardware seems to be fully capable of sound in Linux,
just make sure that it's not a hardware problem - by either using the
front audio connectors, or have the 2 jumpers on the motherboard's
FP_AUDIO block if you want to use the rear connectors.
