Audio: VIA 8-Channel High Definition Audio CODEC & Linux?

[Edward78]

I have Mint 10 & am getting ready to get a motherboard with the audio chipset in title, will I get audio in Mint 10?

VIA is listed at here, but I don't see VIA 8-Channel High Definition Audio CODEC. I mean it is no big deal if I have no audio, but I would like to know for sure.

IIRC all HD audio codecs can use a single driver to give stereo playback so you should get that at a bare minimum, but pretty much all of the onboard chips have their own driver anyway.

SO, I should get audio then good. What about Realtek Lan chipsets, I should be good there to right?

Done. Long as I have sound, I will be good. I am no audio geek/buff.
