Hi,
I have a MSI K7T266 Mainboard here with onboard audio, "grep audio /proc/pci" 
says:

Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8233/A/8235 AC97 Audio 
Controller (rev 16).

The card worked with the kernel driver "VIA 82C686 Audio Codec", but the 
volume jumped once in a while (all of a sudden got louder), so I thought I 
might give ALSA a try.
I'm using Gentoo and followed the Gentoo ALSA guide at 
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/alsa-guide.xml . Everything worked just fine, 
except that no audio is outputted. Yes, I unmuted the channels, yes I did a 
"modules-update"! :) I also added ALSA_CARDS="via82xx" to make.conf.
Well, I got myself the latest stable ALSA sources since Gentoo still uses 
0.92. What I did for alsa-driver was:
./configure --with-cards=via82xx --with-sequencer=yes
Again everything went well, but again no sound... Kmix displays the mixer, 
Alsamixer works fine as well. I tried as root and as user. As a user I am in 
the "audio" group.
I tried rebooting to Bills evil OS to see if the sound card actually still 
works. Yes, works fine with Win. 

Here some additional information:

So, you ALSA Gurus, any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
