Hmm, all the indications are that this *is* the correct driver.
plus which kernel are you using in
your LFS system,
2.6.11.12.....I compile kernel with CDLIVE-BLFS 6.1 with config-file copied
from distro Archie (2.6.11.12)
Odd, if it worked there then it should work here.
and what does the config (just the relevant part of
/proc/config.gz, for preference) say about the sound drivers ?
CONFIG_SND=y
[ snipped, nothing obviously wrong ]
command: dmesg | grep via
via82xx: Assuming DXS channels with 48k fixed sample rate.
I'm sorry, this all looks perfectly correct. On the machine I'm using
at the moment (Realtek ALC850 chip using Via 8237) the config looks
similar (different things built in/as modules, but similar selections),
except that I also selected an Intel sound driver (I got misinformed
about which driver I needed).
I don't have that via message in my dmesg, but then I'm running 2.6.13
on this box.
When I use alsamixer, it shows
Card: VIA 8237
Chip: Realtek ALC850 rev 0
View: Playback
Item: Master
and I need to unmute the Master and first PCM controls (sliders 1 and
3, from the left, starting to count at 1).
I interpreted what you wrote earlier as "the master and other volumes
are unmuted, but I cannot use the cursor to increase the volume above 0"
- was that correct ? And, just to exhaust the possibilities, muted
controls show as 'MM' and unmuted as 'OO'.
I can remember a chip on another box (possibly via) that could *only*
play 48KHz samples, not 44.1KHz (like CD) files - the quote from your
dmesg sounds a bit like that - are you using a sound file that you know
worked when you were running the Archie distro ?
Sorry I'm not being much help.
