Hi, I have spend almost weeks on this but not luck. I have tried via82cxxx_audio.o which come from standard linux kernel and alsa via686a, but modules seems to load but give no sound.
when I try to load snd-card-via686a, it gaves out a poping noise just like speaker poweron, then nothing comes out if play something, no error message too. Is that an IRQ problem or EAPD problem? I have seen people talk about this identical laptop here but no further messages anymore. You help are greatly appreciated! tried 2.4.18-pre9, 2.5.2-pre10, which are only two stable kernel run on my laptop. APM on, ACPI and APIC off. I am currently suspect that it is an IRQ problem since in my /var/log/messages: Feb 15 22:22:03 on1vm kernel: Via 686a audio driver 1.9.1 Feb 15 22:22:03 on1vm kernel: PCI: Found IRQ 11 for device 00:07.5 Feb 15 22:22:03 on1vm kernel: IRQ routing conflict for 00:07.5, have irq 5, want irq 11 Feb 15 22:22:03 on1vm kernel: PCI: Sharing IRQ 11 with 00:0a.0 Feb 15 22:22:03 on1vm kernel: PCI: Sharing IRQ 11 with 00:0b.0 Feb 15 22:22:03 on1vm kernel: ac97_codec: AC97 Audio codec, id: 0x4144:0x5361 (Unknown) Feb 15 22:22:03 on1vm kernel: via82cxxx: board #1 at 0x1000, IRQ 5 Feb 15 22:23:42 on1vm kernel: PCI: Found IRQ 11 for device 00:07.5 Feb 15 22:23:42 on1vm kernel: IRQ routing conflict for 00:07.5, have irq 5, want irq 11 Feb 15 22:23:42 on1vm kernel: PCI: Sharing IRQ 11 with 00:0a.0 Feb 15 22:23:42 on1vm kernel: PCI: Sharing IRQ 11 with 00:0b.0 lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc.
