[LAU] options snd-hda-intel model=WHAT? for VIA VT1708

[Roman Muñoz Roncal]

Hi,

You can get the information you need from here:

http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/sound/alsa/ALSA-Configuration.txt

Note it is for kernel 2.6.24, but this document should be in your kernel 
sources, too. It will look very similar anyway

On this document, search for  "model-snd-hda-intel" (the biggest part, I 
think), then search for your codec, then search for your model 
description, then you know which one your model is.

If it does not appear, you are probably out of luck, but it could be 
that another model works. On an asus f3sv i tried model=lenovo and it 
worked, so search the Internet about your machine, card id, etc.

Final lines of text about module-snd-hda-intel will get you more 
information about at least two other issues thay may or not affect you, 
but it's worth reading

Anyway, you probably will get a working card, but it's very probably 
that you will get results not good enough to do serious audio work.

Regards,
Roman
