I have a new board with ESS Canyon3D-2LE (Lite) chip, which apparently
has integrated AC97 codec. The codec is not recognized by ac97.so and
reported as ‘Generic AC97 0x45838300’. I suspect the vendor of codec is
also ESS, since they do have their own AC97 codec.
It mostly works, with following exceptions:
- AUX and VIDEO outputs are not supported (they are considered optional
now, in latest Intel specs); - STEREO_MIX input does not appear to work, but selecting either AUX or
VIDEO appears to have the effect which STEREO_MIX is supposed to have.
The chip is supported by my Maestro-3/Allegro driver.
