Below I quoted a message I found in the archives. It pretty much states my problem: VIA supplies drivers for this onboard soundchip (which is on many, if not all, of the motherboards with the VIA Apollo KT266A chipset) for several distros (Caldera, RedHat, Suse, Mandrake), but not for Debian. I couldn't get the redhat packages to work and now I'm kind of stuck.
Does anyone know a solution besides: "Create the debian package yourself'? [quote] Hello, Did anybody get the VIA VT8233 sound chip to work (on woody)? I have tried abaout everything I can think of without success. The strange thing is that the modules can be installed and some of the sound applications work as if everything were fine, but there is just no sound. The mixer programs don't work though. amixer says The ALSA sound driver was not detected in this system. although the driver *is* installed.
