["Babu" <vinay.babu@comat.com>]

Dear All,

       

        I am unable to get the onboard sound card output from my PC. I am using Sarge 3.1. Please reply and thanks in advance. Problem is the sound card is detected but when I try to get the output it gives an error stating that it will use /dev/null device to get the output. It give some errors regarding /dev/dsp0.

 

My PC Config:

 

1. Processor     :         AMD Athlon 2600+ (1917 MHz)
2. Mainboard   :         Asus K7600SE with VIA VT 8237 Southbridge Controller Chip
3. Snd Device  :         Onboard Sound device (AD1980)
4. Kernel         :         2.6.8
5. Snd Module :         via82xxx 

 

Thanks and Regards,
