Hi guys! I know the subject has been discussed many times everywhere around the web, but despite of all these resources, i still have troubles making my soundcard working! I have a fujitsu amilo m with a built-in vvia8233 (or at least, i think so, the motherboard is a via apollo pro 266, but after so many tries and failures, i'm not sure of anything!!). I have tried all the ways i've found on the web and it still doesn't work. When i try to product sound, all i have is a serie of "toc toc toc" (i hope you'll guess what i mean... ;) ). There are two points i suspect: * First, the soundcard is not what i think! How couldl i be sure? lspci give me the following information about it: 00:11.5 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. AC97 Audio Controller (rev 30) so what?? * Second, in /etc/modutils/alsa-path, i have: /lib/modules/`uname -r`/alsa but i have no alsa directory there!?! What i am supposed to have there?? Thanks by advance!
PS: Sorry for all the english mistakes i have undoubtely done! PPS: I use woody, and i have tried to compile alsa from sources, since alsaconf doesn't propose the via8233 module.
