Hi Matt, FWIW, I had similar troubles with my integrated VT8233 AC97 (rev 80) with both the 2.4.20 OSS and pre-0.9.2 ALSA drivers. I ended up sticking with ALSA and the performance has improved in each rev. I'm currently using the 0.9.4 ALSA driver and am now happy enough that I've stopped considering the purchase of a cheap SBLive card.
Useful info on building your own ALSA deb from the source: <http://64.253.105.26/modules.php?op=modload&name=Sections&file=index&req=viewarticle&artid=541> The 0.9.4 alsa-source package is available in unstable. Good luck. -- Brad On Mon, 11 Aug 2003, Matt Elder wrote: > Problem: > > I am having trouble setting up my VIA soundcard.

This is my story.
