Freshly installed system running Gentoo AMD64. System was previously a Windows box, and sound worked without issue prior to the reformat. No motherboard jumpers etc. changed. Asus K8V Deluxe motherboard with Via VT837 integrated audio. I have Alsa and the Via driver compiled into the kernel. localhost ddjones # lspci -v ... 00:11.5 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc.

No system sounds, nothing from any media player, just silence. alsaconf says that there is no supported PnP or PCI card found. AlsaMixer shows the VIA 8237 card. Everything is turned up - nothing muted. KDE Control Center says that it can't start the sound system. Everything seems to be in place and detected. I have no idea where to go from here. Hints and suggestions greatly appreciated. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
