I recompiled my kernel. I have 2.4.16 on here (yes it's old). Make sure
you have "CONFIG_SOUND_VIA82CXXX=m" set in you .config file when you
recompile the kernel.

I'm not sure that recompiling your kernel is strictly necessary.

Then a simple

modprobe via82cxxx_audio

works.

Put that line in /etc/modules to get it done automatically at bootup.

Make sure the users that's going to use the soundcard is in the audio
group.
