Re: No sound - onboard VIA VT8233 AC97

I would appreciate any advice anyone can give me as to how to get sound
working on my new box.
The mother board is the Shuttle AV49N, which has onboard VIA VT8233 AC97
sound.
I have been testing with cat reflect.au > /dev/dsp. (reflect.au is a sound
that comes with kbounce.) This returns with no messages, but also with no
sound coming out the speakers.
Thanks in advance,
Josh
I have a different Shuttle MB model that has the VT8233 / AC97 chipset
in it. Sound is working OK with ALSA here. I believe I had it working
at one time with the kernel's built-in OSS drivers too, but I can only
help with the ALSA setup now.
Tell me what you have done so far, and which kernel version you are
using. The pre-compiled ALSA files only come compiled against a couple
of the available kernels now. If you want to use ALSA, you first must
get one of these kernels installed or compile your own version of ALSA
against your kernel from the source. I would advise going the
pre-compiled route.
