There are two cards here, via82xx and bt87x Both exist in alsa-drivers This is what I get from lsmod snd_pcm_oss 57480 0 snd_mixer_oss 19104 1 snd_pcm_oss snd_via82xx 26468 2 snd_ac97_codec 70212 1 snd_via82xx snd_pcm 95972 4 snd_pcm_oss,snd_via82xx snd_timer 23620 1 snd_pcm gameport 3552 1 snd_via82xx snd_mpu401_uart 6880 1 snd_via82xx snd_rawmidi 21984 1 snd_mpu401_uart snd_seq_device 6856 1 snd_rawmidi snd 56132 11 snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_via82xx,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm,snd_timer,snd_mpu401_uart,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq_device soundcore 7328 1 snd snd_page_alloc 9672 2 snd_via82xx,snd_pcm Also ensure that only ALSA is enabled in the kernel, using 2.4.xx just enable sound support, nothing else, and use the alsa drivers from the alsa-project you might have to modprobe snd_pcm_oss to get oss emulation With 2.6.x kernel they are supposed to be built in but I'm damned if I can get them to work... soundcore is loading in the 'old' drivers as well as the alsa ones, eg via82cxxx is an 'old' driver, snd_via82xx is alsa. > > mythtv:/proc/asound# lsmod | grep snd > snd_mixer_oss 20416 0 > snd_via82xx 30820 0 > snd_ac97_codec 70660 1 snd_via82xx > gameport 5376 1 snd_via82xx > snd_mpu401_uart 8896 1 snd_via82xx > snd_rawmidi 26496 1 snd_mpu401_uart > snd_seq_device 8712 1 snd_rawmidi > snd_bt87x 15304 0 > snd_pcm 101920 2 snd_via82xx,snd_bt87x > snd_timer 27460 1 snd_pcm > snd 60132 10 > snd_mixer_oss,snd_via82xx,snd_ac97_codec,snd_mpu401_uart,snd_rawmidi,snd_se >q_device,snd_bt87x,snd_pcm,snd_timer snd_page_alloc 12168 3 > snd_via82xx,snd_bt87x,snd_pcm > soundcore 11168 5 snd,bttv,via82cxxx_audio,sound > > However, it can't detect any cards: > mythtv:/proc/asound# cat cards > --- no soundcards --- > > All alsa commands fail, and I get nothing out of my speakers.
