I theorize that alsa mixer set some parameter in the chip. Anyway, I deleted the
kernel source, repatched, starting from scratch, and recompiled as a module. Also, I
deleted some /etc/alsa and/or modules files that I suspected. Then I added myself to
the audio group, and also deleted ~/.xmms, purged all mixers, including alsautils,
purged alsa packages entirely (on a debian unstable box derived from a knoppix 3.3
install).
Eventually, with these and other steps, I used
modprobe snd_via82xx dxs_support=4
dxs_support=2 worked ok, but anyway that wasn't the situation.
Good luck. Please let me know if you figure anything out from all this. I am soooo
tired of soundcards not working over the years...

I have steadily endeavored to keep my mind free, so as to give up any
hypothesis, however much beloved -- and I cannot resist forming one
on every subject -- as soon as facts are shown to be opposed to it.
-- Charles Darwin (1809-1882)
The right to search for truth implies also a duty; one must not
conceal any part of what one has recognized to be true.
-- Albert Einstein
As we enjoy great advantages from the inventions of others we should
be glad of an opportunity to serve others by any invention of
ours, and this we should do freely and generously.
-- Benjamin Franklin
