Hi all, I have a VAIO FX401. The lspci command give me:
debian:~# lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8363/8365 [KT133/KM133] (rev 03) 00:01.0 PCI bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc.

RTL-8139 (rev 10) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Rage Mobility P/M AGP 2x (rev 64) I figured out that I have a VIA 82C686 sound card. I activated this in the kernel (2.4.12) the "VIA 82 C686 Audio Codec" but it is not working. Not even a simple beep. I activated then in the kernel the same option as a module and I try to run sndconfig. This give me: A PCI sound card was found in your system. The details are: Model: Unknown vendor|unknown device 1106:3058 The Unknown vendor|unknown device 1106:3058 is not supported. If I try to cat a file the /dev/dsp it says: /dev/dsp: No such device. But: debian:~# ls -l /dev/dsp* crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 3 Jun 13 11:22 /dev/dsp crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 19 Jun 13 11:22 /dev/dsp1 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 35 Jun 13 11:22 /dev/dsp2 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 51 Jun 13 11:22 /dev/dsp3 What you suggest me to do? I have a dvd and I can't see if it works if the sound is not configured... Thank you for your help, Ionel
