Dear All,
I use Gigabyte GA-7VTXE+, equip with on board sound card. When I
use sound card (when start KDE), there is a lot of message:
via82cxxx warning: SG stopped or paused
I'm using kernel 2.4.18-3, Red Hat 7.3. Would you please tell me how to
solve this problem?
Thanks,
Theewara

You motherboard has a VA8233A south bridge, which is more fully supported in 2.4.19 than in the Red Hat kernel. Upgrade, and your problems should go away (or at least, get easier to debug).

Actually the audio hasnt changed between the Red Hat tree and that one.
There is very little via audio support in Linux. Running the vanilla
2.4.19 versus RH 2.4.18-3 isnt going to help and is going to introduce
all the bugs Red Hat fixed that are still working there way in post
2.4.19

Hmm... a quick diff shows that you are quite right. However the "SG stopped or paused" messages disappeared on my box as soon as I replaced 2.4.18-3 with the latest 2.4.18-pre10-acX tree, so I assumed that somewhere the appropriate tweeks had been made.
Though I did have to move to ALSA later on because of issues with the generic AC97 chip on my motherboard, and everything is working great now. Perhaps you can try that instead?

ALSA does have -much- better drivers for the via audio.

The newer multi-channel VT8233A audio chip isn't supported at all in the
2.4.x via audio driver, you need ALSA for that support. The VT8233A is
_almost_ register compatible, but not enough to not require additional
changes.
