Subject: [gentoo-user] ALSA / sound not working
Date: Wed, 05 Sep 2007 23:46:11
Message-Id: 200709051534.57707.ddjones@riddlemaster.org
1 New install of amd64 with multilib on an Asus K8V Deluxe mobo. Trying to get
2 sound working. The kernel shows a VIA 82C686A/B, 8233/8235 AC97 Controller
3 driver. dmesg shows:
4
5 ALSA device list:
6 #0: VIA 8237 with AD1980 at 0xc800, irq 22
7
8 Does the 8233/8235 driver work with the 8237? Is there a different driver for
9 the 8237? This seems to be the only one listed in the kernel. I have it
10 and ALSA compiled into the kernel, but no sound. alsaconf fails with no
11 sound card found. KDE control center sound module says it's unable to start
12 the sound server.
13
14 cat /proc/asound/cards shows the same info as dmesg:
15
16 0 [V8237 ]: VIA8237 - VIA 8237
17 VIA 8237 with AD1980 at 0xc800, irq 22
18
19 lspci -v gives a few more details:

21 00:11.5 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8233/A/8235/8237
22 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 60)
23 Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. A7V600/K8V Deluxe motherboard (ADI
24 AD1980 codec [SoundMAX])
25 Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 22
26 I/O ports at c800 [size=256]
27 Capabilities: [c0] Power Management version 2
28
29 Any hints or ideas?
