OK, so I'm a bad guy. (possibly) Wizard etc # lspci <SNIP> 00:0e.0 Multimedia audio controller: Xilinx Corporation RME Hammerfall DSP (rev 65) <SNIP> 00:11.5 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8233/A/8235 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 50) <SNIP> Not really sure if this is an 8233 or 8235. The motherboard is an Asus A7V333-X. If seen documents that use one or the other. This seems to (mostly) work for me: # Alsa 0.9.X kernel modules' configuration file. # $Header: /home/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/media-sound/alsa-utils/files/alsa-modules.con f-rc,v 1.1 2003/08/05 21:07:55 johnm Exp $ # ALSA portion alias char-major-116 snd # OSS/Free portion alias char-major-14 soundcore ## ## IMPORTANT: ## You need to customise this section for your specific sound card(s) ## and then run `update-modules' command. ## Read alsa-driver's INSTALL file in /usr/share/doc for more info. ## ## ALSA portion alias snd-card-0 snd-via82xx options snd-via82xx dxs_support=4 alias snd-card-1 snd-hdsp alias snd-card-2 snd-usb-audio ## OSS/Free portion alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 alias sound-slot-1 snd-card-1 alias sound-slot-2 snd-card-2 ## # OSS/Free portion - card #0 (Via8233) alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss # OSS/Free portion - card #1 (HDSP9652) alias sound-service-1-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-1-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-1-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-1-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-1-12 snd-pcm-oss alias /dev/mixer snd-mixer-oss alias /dev/dsp snd-pcm-oss alias /dev/midi snd-seq-oss # Set this to the correct number of cards. options snd cards_limit=3 add options -k snd-card-0 add options -k snd-card-1 add options -k snd-card-2 I say mostly because the sound is not always great from card 0. Sometimes (not always) it can be a bit distorted, and it's certainly softer (in volume) than when the same chip is used under Windows. (I'm dual boot.) In alsamixer I have everything off except the Master, PCM and tehe 4 VIA DXS settings. Everythign else is at 0.
