I have compiled alsa on my HP zt1180 laptop that has a VIA AC97 codec in it. I have managed to get some sound out of it when using aplay, but it doesn't stop playing the sound. It keeps on repeating or sometimes starts putting out garbage.
aplay shows the sound device at 0xe000 and irq9. This is what the windows XP device manager says also.
