Successful ALSA, finally, after 10 months of no sound. Installed ALSA 1.0.17, which has a fix for VT1617, after trying 1.0.9, and 1.0.16. However, I had so many problems installing ALSA that I doubt that I ever really tested the previous ALSA versions. AMD Sempron, 1.6Ghz, 256MB Chaintech SK8T800 motherboard, VIA chipset VIA K8T800, VIA VT8237R VT1617A, 5.1 Ch, AC97 codec Linux 2.4.31.W10 from Slackware 10.2 TiMidity is up and working too. Previous symptoms. - sound is broken, just clicks once every 20 sec. - same clicks during lilo boot menu - this machine only has Linux on it Have no idea how to generate sounds beyond 2-ch using Linux. Probably not worth the time and effort, probably only some win-games use it. Wesley D.
