Hello

I have just installed Slackware 8.1 on a system with a Via 8233 
southbridge(Tyan Trinity 510 socket 478). I have also installed ALSA, 
because it is supposed to be able to work with the VT82xx onboard sound as 
shown here...

http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/  (just scroll down to Via)

...and here is the directions to install ALSA for the VT8233...

http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/template.php3?company=VIA&card=&chip=via8233a&module=via82xx

The sound works, but there is a mid/high pitched noise associated with 
anything that comes out of the speakers. The only things I have played 
though are MP3's, and the sound that KDE makes when it starts up. 

A few months ago installed Slackware 8.1 on another system with a Via 8233 
southbridge (this one an MSI KT7266a socket A). This system is using a 
basic pair of computer speakers, but as far as I can tell, it sounds fine.

My main problem this time just seems to be unacceptable sound quality. 

Thanks in advance
Edward Crismond
