I'm trying to get ALSA 1.0.9b up on a VIA Epia with an onboard VIA 8233 soundcard. I know the hardware is there because dmesg says: ----- Via 686a/8233/8235 audio driver 1.9.1-ac3 ac97_codec: AC97 Audio codec, id: VIA97 (Unknown) via82cxxx: board #1 at 0xDC00, IRQ 10 Enabled Via MIDI ----- These messages come from via82cxxx_audio.c (I'm using the 2.4.26 kernel). Furthermore, I can "cat foo.au > /dev/audio" and hear sound, and even mpg123 "foo.mp3" works - so I know the hardware is OK. I ran snddevices and so the /dev nodes are there. But when I try to load the module with "modprobe snd-via82xx" it loads many modules but ends with: ----- insmod: init_module: snd-via82xx: No such device modprobe: failed to load module snd-via82xx ----- lsmod says: ----- root@june 22# lsmod Module Size Used by Tainted: P snd-ac97-codec 56832 0 snd-mpu401-uart 2848 0 snd-rawmidi 12484 0 [snd-mpu401-uart] snd-seq-device 3560 0 [snd-rawmidi] snd-pcm 52012 0 [snd-ac97-codec] snd-timer 13192 0 [snd-pcm] snd 29360 0 [snd-ac97-codec snd-mpu401-uart snd-rawmidi snd-seq-device snd-pcm snd-timer] snd-page-alloc 4392 0 [snd-rawmidi snd-seq-device snd-pcm snd-timer snd] ----- I'm perplexed! I've gone through the alsa.org pages several times, especially http://alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/template.php?module=via82xx but I'm still stuck. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd be really happy to hear them! Thanks, Jim tc4312@xxxxxxxxx > __________________________________ > Yahoo!
