Add i810_audio to /etc/modules. You may also use the sonypi modules which will allow you to use the jogdial (apt-get install sjog).Bonjour Thomas,yes, that seems to be part of the solution. I have been using the ACPI patch already, but now I also compiled the oss driver and have been a bit more successful than before. So the current situation is: * Modules are not loaded automatically
* but when loaded by hand * xmms does work and outputs that it used OSSAdd yourself to the audio group, or whatever group the /dev/dsp device belongs to.
* kde sound does not work (when logging in it complains about
/dev/dsp permision denied)
When modprobing i810_audio, if you did compile as modules OSS soud modules, your lsmod should read :
i810_audio
soundcore
ac97_codec
Hope this helps. Note that my lsmod also reads i810_rng, since I compiled as a module the pseudo random number generator. I'm not sure it's related, but that's worth trying. Anyway, since you're using a vaio, you should use the sonypi driver (located in character devices). Being able to use the jogdial is great, and I think it also gives access to other sony specific features.
* gnome is quiet too What should I do next? What about alsa? I read that alsa is now the way to go, but oss. I didn't find a alsa howto nor a package below /usr/doc. Where should I look?

First of all, you should try OSS module i810_audio. If you card remains mute, or produces strange sounds as it did for me, you'll have to follow these steps:
Update ACPI on your kernel. The reason why the sound card was not correctly working before is related to a IRQ sharing issue solved recently in the ACPI subsystem.
the sound works perfectly with the OSS driver Intel ICH (i8xx) module named i810_audio. So you have to:
1. Patch your kernel with the latest version of ACPI, available from http://acpi.sourceforge.net
2. Compile a new kernel with ACPI enabled (I include it in the kernel, not as a module), and choose in the sound config:
<M> Sound card support
...
<M> Intel ICH (i8xx)
...
<M> OSS Sound modules
3. Use the new kernel.
I can provide my .config, if it helps,
Thomas

I don't find a Kernel Module with a similar name?! What do I need to
look for? Would the discovery of the right module be everything needed
to get the sound up and running on woody or do I need anything else?
Just in case that is interesting?!hamlet:/home/mkamp# lsmod
