I just bought a new (refurbished) Everexe StepNote laptop with a VIA C7-M CPU and a VIA chipset, installed CentOS 5.4 on it and the audio is not working. I looked around for a sound driver for the VIA vt1708/a, which is what it claims to have (see below), but that didn't work either. Any pointers as to what I'm missing? !lpspci 04:01.0 Audio device: VIA Technologies, Inc.
