Hi, i've got an ALSA 0.9.0r6 problem, sounds similar to that of
bruno:
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=1460332&forum_id=1751
but i'm using Deb3.0r0, and rhinefet (from VIA) rather than via-rhine
for the ethernet card.
*** problem: no sound ***

i've listed below:
*** kernel: 2.4.18 recompiled for VIA chipset, includes:
*** sound chip: VIA 8233 built-in to motherboard
*** USB speakers
*** previous ALSA: previously i had 0.9.0beta12 working.
*** installation
*** modules
*** bootup scripts
*** other diagnostics ***
i realise it's probably easier to give up on 0.9.0rc6 and revert to
0.9.0beta12, but since i've spent this much time trying to get it to
work, i might as well try to contribute to the development side.
Whether it's me having overlooked something trivial, a general bug, a
bug related to my chip, or a need for HOWTO or INSTALL doc
improvement, i'd rather my time has some useful result...
Thanks in advance for any help!

*** sound chip: VIA 8233 built-in to motherboard
*** USB speakers
*** previous ALSA: previously i had 0.9.0beta12 working. Though sound
only came out of one speaker (the one not directly attached to the
USB), it was reasonably OK quality, once i had the options line set at
96kHz:
options snd-via8233 snd_index=0 snd_id=CARD_0 snd_enable=1 snd_ac97_clock=96000
[There was also, and still is, a background sound based on movements
of the mouse, action on the screen, or disk activity - but this is
presumably independent of ALSA. Any hints on this would be nice
too... Since i don't have a name for it, it's hard to search on
keywords... :( ]
*** installation
To be sure of a clean installation, i used dselect to make sure that no
old files were lying around, and removed all obvious alsa files/directories
in the system area that i could find.
cd /usr/src/modules/alsa-driver-0.9.0rc6/
make clean
./configure --with-kernel=/usr/local/src/homekern/kernel-source-2.4.18
--with-cards=via82xx --with-sequencer=yes
make ; make install
./snddevices
cd /scratch/alsa-lib-0.9.0rc6
make clean; make; make install
cd /scratch/alsa-utils-0.9.0rc6
make clean; make; make install

Seems OK to me, but then:

#
*** bootup scripts
Using
alsa-driver-0.9.0rc6/utils/alsasound
in /etc/rc*d/ startup scripts and using it either to stop or start
the modules seems to work for the modules, but the results are the same.
Seems irrelevant to my problem, IMHO.
