Hello Trouble with Alsa drivers on a 2.6.11-gentoo-r11 kernel. I did not have ALSA set up before, but in make.conf 'alsa' is listed as a USE flag.
lspci -v reveals: 0000:00:11.5 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8233/A/8235/8237 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 50) Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. A7V8X-X Motherboard Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 22 I/O ports at e000 Capabilities: [c0] Power Management version 2 the kernel is configured with: devicedrivers ->sound ->sound card support ->alsa ->pci devices <*> VIA 82C686A/B, 8233/8235 AC97 Controller <*> VIA 82C686A/B, 8233 based Modems but this does not seem to do the trick. Upon reboot it complains that the ALSA drivers are not found. dmesg: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.8 (Thu Jan 13 09:39:32 2005 UTC). ALSA device list: No soundcards found. Granted there is no pci bus card installed, but, the system should have 5.1 audio support. http://usa.asus.com/products/mb/socketa/a7v8x-x/overview.htm The system also as an LML frame grabber board installed: 0000:00:0f.0 Multimedia video controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Video Capture (rev 11) Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 18 Memory at ef000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) Capabilities: [44] Vital Product Data Capabilities: [4c] Power Management version 2 0000:00:0f.1 Multimedia controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Audio Capture (rev 11) Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 18 Memory at ee800000 (32-bit, prefetchable) Capabilities: [44] Vital Product Data Capabilities: [4c] Power Management version 2 Ideas on what I've missed or screwed up on this AthonXP 2400+ system, are most welcome.
