I've been having a hell of a time attempting to get my audio to work. I have a Via82C686 card with an AC'97 codec deal (I think). I've been trying to use ALSA to get sound, but I've followed all the quick installs and everything else. Here's what I have in a file within my /etc/modutils
alias char-major-116 snd alias char-major-14 soundcore #ALSA Aliases alias snd-card-0 snd-via686 alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 #OSS/Free portion - Via 686 alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss All the modules seem to be loading correctly, when I run lsmod every appears to be fine. I've unmuted all the channels and set the volume levels to the max. I've tried playing a file in XMMS but it pops up an error window asking about the output configuration, etc. So at this point, I'm totally clueless. I've been reading the thread "can't get audio to work" and he seems to be having similiar problems. I compile my own kernel, if that matters. Can anyone help?
