Can you help?
The via82cxx_audio module is failing to intialize. This could be because
the chipset on your mobo is a newer version than what the driver you
have supports.
I have this audio chipset on my mobo at work. I had problems with older
kernels. At one point (2.4.20 or 2.4.21) the modules would load but I'd
STILL get no sound. I'm currently running 2.4.22 and its working.
Modules loaded are:
via82cxxx_audio 20988 0
ac97_codec 13428 0 [via82cxxx_audio]
soundcore 3844 2 [via82cxxx_audio]
chipset info:
00:11.0 ISA bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8235 ISA Bridge
00:11.1 IDE interface: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82C586/B/686A/B PIPC Bus
Master IDE (rev 06)
00:11.5 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8233 AC97
Audio Controller (rev 50)
I'd suggest seeing what modules the stock debian kernels support and if
possible upgrading your kernel via apt-get or compiling your own.
