To anyone that can help:
I have noticed many people on this list have had similar problems, but
going through the archives I could not find a solution. I have a BioStar
M7VIT board with VIA8233 audio. The driver loads without error on every
version of ALSA, but produces no sound on any version above 0.9.1. 0.9.1
produces choppy, distorted audio. 0.9.0rc8 produces clean audio, however
the mixer is whacked out. "Master" and PCM do not work except for Mute.
This is true using any program, including XMMS with ALSA 0.9 and OSS.
XMMS using ESD plugin seems to work with mixer(but ESD, I believe has
its own internal mixer). I compiled alsa-driver-0.9.0rc8 with debug and
here is what I get:
Jun 28 11:59:52 terminator modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module
snd-card-1
Jun 28 11:59:52 terminator modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module
snd-card-2
Jun 28 11:59:52 terminator modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module
snd-card-3
Jun 28 12:00:43 terminator modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module
sound-slot-1
Jun 28 12:00:43 terminator modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module
sound-service-1-0
This appears over and over again during the initial module loading and
shortly after. This may be normal behavior that is viewable with debug,
I do not know. Here is my /etc/modules.conf:
#ALSA
