Basically the kernel drivers (oss) dont work properly and you want the alsa
ones. To set this up you need to add the following lines to your /etc/modules
file:
> snd-card-via686a
> snd-pcm-oss
This will cause the modules to be loaded every time the computer boots. To
test this, type (as root):
> modprobe snd-card-via686a
> modprobe snd-pcm-oss
(order of modules is important)
Then try to play a cd or a wav or something. You will have to open the mixer
as alsa modules default to mute, and adjust volume levels accordingly.
