This is a call for testers for a revised VIA8233/8235 audio driver on FreeBSD. Reports are in that it works on the VIA8233C and the 8235, but the 8233A has a slightly different register set. If you own a VIA8233A and are running -stable or 4.6/4.7, could you check sound still works for you with the revised driver. Reports have come in that it works on the 8233C and 8235, but the 8233A requires some slightly different handling and the new driver potentially offers S/PDIF as an added feature. The requisite info is available at: http://people.freebsd.org/~orion/via8233/2003-02-24/ Alternatively, if you are running -CURRENT, just building a kernel today will have this code in. Only the register set selection is specific to the 8233A. The code is safe with regard to not crashing your box, ie the same code paths are run with the other chipsets and do not cause a problem.
