I have a vaio F-650 which also uses a Yamaha chipset, although not the exact same one...lspci says: Yamaha Corporation YMF-744B [DS-1S Audio Controller] (rev 02) > seem to get it to work. i've installed the alsa .deb's and selected my > card with alsaconf, i've been using kernel 2.4.2 with sound support, but > i just changed that and am now loading sound support as modules. > > /etc/init.d/alsa start presents me the following output: > > Starting ALSA sound driver (version none):modprobe: Can't locate module > snd no devfs available (even though using the kernel with devfs). I managed to get mine working by compiling the OSS sound modules (soundcore, IIRC) and selecting "YMFPCI" in the kernel configs. I don't load them as modules, however - I built mine directly into the kernel (so YMMV). Here's what I get in dmesg: ymfpci0: YMF744 at 0xfedf8000 IRQ 9 ac97_codec: AC97 Audio codec, vendor id1: 0x414b, id2: 0x4d02 (Unknown) Sound initialization started Sound initialization complete It seems to play wav/mp3's just fine. I do have problems with the Flash plugin under Netscape, however (the sound is _really_ choppy). I haven't found a fix for that yet (mainly because I don't visit that many flash-required sites ;P ) Hopefully this will help, or at least point you in the right direction. One of these days I'll get around to trying ALSA out =) -b3
