I'm having lots of problems trying to get alsa to work VIA VT8235 SB. I've tried alsa-driver-0.9.0_rc6, alsa-driver-0.9.0_rc8, and yesterdays cvs snapshot.
At first I was getting this error, when I tried using aplay to play a .wav file: ALSA lib pcm_hw.c:481:(snd_pcm_hw_drain) SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_DRAIN failed: Input/output error When I pass acpi=off pci=biosirq on the kernel line in grub.conf, alsa doesn't give me any errors when I use aplay, but I still don't get any sound. I have unmuted the mixer and alsamixer correctly identifies my chipset. I compiled my kernel with "Sound card support" as a module and no other sound drivers. I'm using devfs,and /dev/dsp is not being created and /dev/sound/ is empty. Here's some more info: # cat /proc/pci Bus 0, device 17, function 5: Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc.
