Hey all, I've exhausted every resource I know trying to figure this out, but I haven't yet found resolution. I'm hoping someone here can save my sanity!
I have a Soyo MB with the VIA chip set, via8233a for sound. I compiled a 2.4.19 kernel with sound built internal and the sound wouldn't load stating that the sound hardward is not supported. So, I recompiled with the kernel sound as modules and used sndconfig to try to configure it. But the modules wouldn't load stating that the sound hardware is not supported. So, I recompiled the kernel to prepare for ALSA and I compiled the ALSA modules. Finally the sound modules load fine without any complaints. However, it doesn't work. I can hear pops and moans from the speakers, and when I start esd I hear a hum for a few seconds. I followed the ALSA procedures to the letter and all went perfectly. >From KDE I enable artsd and when it tries to start I get a message stating that the device /dev/dsp can't be opened, device or resource busy. I know the permissions are correct (set to crw-rw-rw- for all devices) and I know that all the sound components are unmuted and set to a reasonable level.
