Nope, here is a copy of the test I ran:

sarge:~# modprobe via82cxxx_audio
sarge:~# play /usr/share/sounds/pop.wav
playing /usr/share/sounds/pop.wav
sox: Can't open output file '/dev/dsp': No such device
sarge:~# lsmod | grep cxxx
via82cxxx              10116   1  (autoclean)
ide-core               96876   4  (autoclean) [ide-cd ide-detect
via82cxxx siimage ide-disk]

What is puzzling me is that audio had been working just fine before my
latest apt update. This is a snippet of /var/log/kern.log for the last
time audio worked:

< snip >
Dec 29 08:56:26 localhost kernel: Via 686a/8233/8235 audio driver

Any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks,
