Hi,
the state of VIA VT1708 in the current kernel is far from optimal. It would be good to improve the situation, at least for 2.6.38. On the machine here, I experience at least these bugs: 3) Several users report headphones output being broken
- Symptoms vary a little and some might be due to bug 2), but some
however report the headphones volume being "grayed out" in alsamixer. I haven't seen that in particular on the hardware here.
- All these extra controls - "Independent HP", "Jack Detect", "Smart 5.1"
Independent headphone

"Smart 5.1" similar to switch "channel mode" from 2 to 6 in intedl desktop motherboard with 3 audio jacks in rear panel
"Independent Headphome" similar to "Multistreaming" playback in those two videos
