Davy Wentzler has uploaded a working via686b onboard audio driver for the AmigaOne! Unfortunately, only the first batch(es) of A1's actually have the AC'97 chip physically on the board.
It was taken off later on as Eyetech didn't think it was ever going to work. You could just try the driver to see if you have such a chip, but you can also have a look on the motherboard: left to the AGP-port, under the gfx card either is a small Sigmatel chip or an empty square. Most people won't have the chip though.
Steven Brookes found out what was wrong. Normally, the BIOS/firmware sets up some registers of the VIA that make it work (ACPI), unfortunately back then we thought it was a hardware issue.
This first version is very basic. It is playback only, has CD-in monitoring, but no volume controls etc. This will come soon in a later version.
If you're lucky enough to have the AC'97 chip, give it a try. If you'll use it, please consider making a small donation of 5 Euros to paypal@audio-evolution.com.
