    I have the same card, and had the same volume issue, but the quality is OK (at
    least after I fixed it). :-)

    In 9.0, I used the binary driver from VIA's website. In 9.1, it was detected
    and installed fine, but then the volume issue.

    I use the KMix Sound Mixer applet in kicker, and hide all of the mixer
    controls except for volume and 'VIA DXS'. The latter seems to be some sort
    of pre-out that controls volume _before_ the volume control. It defaulted to
    off originally, which meant that with everything else on high, I could barely
    hear sound from my speakers. With it set at ~90%, my speakers will rock the
    house.

    HTH.

    Regards,

    Mark
