I have Mercury's KOB P4M266 NDFSUMx mother board with VT8233 AC'97 audio controller. I installed alsa driver (0.9.0rc6). I added the module info to modules.conf and ran "alsasound start". It didn't give any error, but the /var/log/messages shows error in ac97_codec.c "codec 0 is not ready". It prints some values also it has got by reading the control reg. Also, "cat /proc/asound/cards" returns "-- no soundcards --". (And obviouly no sound also...)
I tried using the via82cxxx_audio driver in kernel 2.4.18. This had given the DEVICE_ID wrongly (via82cxxx have 3058 as the id, whereas via8233 has 3059). I changed this value, and loaded the module. It didn't give any error (With old value of device id, it was giving an error "No such device"). I enabled the PROC_FS also in that, and it prints the card info correctly. Now I unloaded the kernel module and loaded the ALSA modules again. Wow!! It didn't give any "codec 0 is not ready" error. Also, it displayed /proc/asound/oss/sndstat with cards and mixer. (It showed "NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG" for synth and midi devices). But still no sound.. I tried putting an audio CD, it plays and plays and plays.. but no sound!!!! Anybody has solution for this!!!
