Can't say as I can tell you what's up with 2.4 & USB, since I haven't
used that combination in particular.  However, I can tell you that the
board that I have which has an all VIA based setup works pretty
good... it's a Syntax board with an AMD Duron 1.8 GHz CPU.  However,
the ALSA mixer settings are a bit messed up.  The "master," well,
isn't.  It's actually a strange combination of PCM and various other
mixers.  I'm working on a project in Windows at the moment (bleh), but
the next time I boot into Linux I can pull up the specs and show you
the mixer levels that work for my setup, and you can see if maybe
that's your VIA audio problem, there.

  Later,
