Hi, I have a MSI K7T266 Mainboard here with onboard audio, "grep audio /proc/pci" says:
Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8233/A/8235 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 16). The card worked with the kernel driver "VIA 82C686 Audio Codec", but the volume jumped once in a while (all of a sudden got louder), so I thought I might give ALSA a try. I'm using Gentoo and followed the Gentoo ALSA guide at http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/alsa-guide.xml . Everything worked just fine, except that no audio is outputted. Yes, I unmuted the channels, yes I did a "modules-update"! :) I also added ALSA_CARDS="via82xx" to make.conf. Well, I got myself the latest stable ALSA sources since Gentoo still uses 0.92. What I did for alsa-driver was: ./configure --with-cards=via82xx --with-sequencer=yes Again everything went well, but again no sound... Kmix displays the mixer, Alsamixer works fine as well. I tried as root and as user. As a user I am in the "audio" group. I tried rebooting to Bills evil OS to see if the sound card actually still works. Yes, works fine with Win.
