Hello all, I've been trying to install this soundcard for a
couple days now. Its an Onboard VIA82xx chip. I tryed it on different kernels (2.6.0, 2.6.10 and
2.6.14) with this configuration: # # Sound # CONFIG_SOUND=m # # Advanced Linux Sound Architecture # CONFIG_SND=m CONFIG_SND_TIMER=m CONFIG_SND_PCM=m CONFIG_SND_RAWMIDI=m CONFIG_SND_SEQUENCER=m # CONFIG_SND_SEQ_DUMMY is not set CONFIG_SND_OSSEMUL=y CONFIG_SND_MIXER_OSS=m CONFIG_SND_PCM_OSS=m CONFIG_SND_SEQUENCER_OSS=y # CONFIG_SND_RTCTIMER is not set # CONFIG_SND_VERBOSE_PRINTK is not set # CONFIG_SND_DEBUG is not set CONFIG_SND_GENERIC_DRIVER=y # # Generic devices # CONFIG_SND_MPU401_UART=m CONFIG_SND_DUMMY=m # CONFIG_SND_VIRMIDI is not set # CONFIG_SND_MTPAV is not set # CONFIG_SND_SERIAL_U16550 is not set # CONFIG_SND_MPU401 is not set CONFIG_SND_AC97_CODEC=m CONFIG_SND_AC97_BUS=m # # PCI devices CONFIG_SND_VIA82XX=m # # Open Sound System # # CONFIG_SOUND_PRIME is not set I installed alsa-utils with apt-get and have debian
unstable running. Everything seems to be correctly detected but don't understand
why alsa just won't work (says: no soundcard found). Here's some info that could maybe help you help me :) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- soundcard info: # lscpi -v 0000:00:11.5 Multimedia audio controller: VIA
