Public bug reported:
I have a VIA 8237 chipset with Realtek AC 97 Onboard Sound on an MSI
6741 (K8MM-ILSR I think, memory's a little rusty) and no matter what I
do, I can't get the sound to work at all. I have tried every forum,
instruction, and troubleshooting guide I can find. I was originally
trying to get this PC setup with Mythbuntu to replace Windows XP MCE
2005 (don't like paying Microsoft and wanted more features). Had great
"out of the box" experience with Ubuntu on one of our laptops and
decided to give it a shot. I have since tried Ubuntu, Ubuntu with XBMC,
Kubuntu, and Xubuntu. Sound will not work on any no matter how much
troubleshooting I do. I am about to try LinuxMCE but fear I will have
the same results. There is no known compatibility issue with this
chipset and/or sound card and all the information I have read in
repositories and forums say it should work without a problem. I don't
know that much about Linux but follow directions very well, learn
quickly, and have a very acute sense of troubleshooting so I don't think
it's something I'm doing/not doing wrong/incorrectly. I am using the
latest version of Ubuntu and all derivatives (9.04 Jaunty Jackalope).
The detected and installed sound module is SND-VIA82xx.
