I have a VIA 8233 AC '97 chipset. It works fine with the standard packaged kernel driver. I installed the alsa-driver,alsa-libs,alsa-util,alsa-tools,etc. The kernel driver loads fine and I am starting the /etc/init.d/alsasound and /etc/init.d/alsactl scripts. These load with no errors either. I configured my modules.conf to match the documentation as well. All of the ALSA applications including the mixer seem to function normally. There are no errors when playing XMMS using ALSAlib...but there is no sound. It is as if the card is permanently muted. What could cause this? Is there anything else I should check? Thanks.
