Public bug reported:

I'm running a computer with a Soyo K7VME motherboard.  The onboard sound
is handled by a VIA V82xx device.

According to everything I've seen, the system is set up correctly.


I followed the instructions at RestrictedFormats[1] to allow my fresh install 
of 6.06 to play MP3s, but this didn't work. Programs can play mp3s now, but I'm 
not hearing any output. I know the speakers work, I just tested them by 
plugging them into my iPod. Audio-out worked Back In The Day when this computer 
was running Windows XP, so I don't think the hardware is damaged in any way.

I set out to follow the Comprehensive Sound Problem Solutions Guide[2].
It hasn't really helped.

1. Go to a shell and type: aplay -l

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ aplay -l
card 0: V8235 [VIA 8235], device 0: VIA 8235 [VIA 8235]
  Subdevices: 4/4
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
  Subdevice #1: subdevice #1
  Subdevice #2: subdevice #2

  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$


2. Type this into the shell: lspci -v
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ lspci -v | grep -A5 Audio
0000:00:11.5 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. 
VT8233/A/8235/8237 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 50)
        Subsystem: Unknown device a723:10fd
        Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 185
        I/O ports at e000 [size=256]
        Capabilities: <available only to root>

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$

4. Now go back to the shell and type sudo modprobe snd-...
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ lsmod | grep ^snd_via
snd_via82xx            28824  1
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$


the module was already loaded automatically at boot.


I checked alsamixer, none of the outputs are muted.

I hear no output playing an mp3 in Movie Player, Rhythmbox, gxine or
mpg123.

Clicking the "Test" button in gstreamer-properties for each of the audio
output options produces no output.

and so, even though this is a fresh install, I re-install the audio

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo apt-get --purge remove linux-sound-base alsa-base 
alsa-utils
...
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo apt-get install linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils
...
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo apt-get install gdm ubuntu-desktop

and reboot.

and still no sound.


someone at CIALUG suggests[3] blacklisting the snd-via82xx-modem module.

So I made my /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-modem look like this:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ grep -v ^# /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-modem
blacklist snd-via82xx-modem
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$

And rebooted.  No effect.

This was originally submitted at the Ubuntu forums[4], but recieved
little (as of this writing, no) attention.  Matthew Nuzum suggested[5] I
file this as a bug here.  Thank you for your help.
