After loading version 0.90 on a SuSE 8.0 - System I
used alsaconf to configure my integrated
VIA-8233-Soundcard (Gigabyte board GA-7VTXE+).
Alsaconf reports that it succeeds in configuring the
soundcard, but when alsaconf tries to play the
sample-sounds, I get the following error messages in
/var/log/messages:

- schnipp -

    This bug also affects me with a DFI AD73Pro motherboard. The
    VIA-8233 soundcard is on this board.

    I have the basically the same problem with RedHat 7.2 and an
    MSI KT3 Ultra (MS-6380E v1.0) motherboard, which says it has
    the VIA Apollo KT333 & VT8233A chipsets. I'm using
    alsa-driver-0.9.0rc1. Here are the messages I get:

    On modprobe snd-via8233.o (or maybe audunmute, which calls
    amixer):

    The audio works with OSS and in Windows XP.

    Followup: As indicated on the supported chips page, I
    downloaded ALSA from CVS on June 8th, and compiled and
    installed it, and sound now works on my machine (RedHat 7.2
    and an MSI KT3 Ultra (MS-6380E v1.0) motherboard, which says
    it has the VIA Apollo KT333 & VT8233A chipsets). Thank you!!
