After six hours of trying to get this stuff working, I've decided to post a
message here.
dmesg shows that I have the following error:
ALSA card-via686a.c:1191: VIA 82C686A soundcard not found or device busy
Anyone help would be greatly appreciated, as I'm quite stuck.
System info follows below.
Thanks...
Daniel
BIOS has:
AC97 support enabled,
Legacy support enabled,
Soundblaster emulation disabled.
Relevant kernel configuration parameters:
CONFIG_SOUND=y
# CONFIG_SOUND_VIA82CXXX is not set
Relevant /etc/modules.conf:
# ALSA native device support
alias char-major-116 snd
options snd snd_major=116 snd_cards_limit=1
alias snd-card-0 snd-card-via686a
# OSS-free setup
alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
modprobe -v snd-card-via686a yields:
