Hello all,

I'm having problems getting sound to work in Psyche. First it did'nt work at all. Then I installed Alsa and I'm getting something now but still not good. Here's the beef. I have installed alsa as per the installation rules, have modified the etc/modules.files and loaded the modules for my sound card (VIA8233). Here are the symptoms

_Now when I open any application I get a weird throbbing sound which stops after a while.

_When I open the Gnome Sound Controller all the devices are marked as locked. If I uncheck the Locked box, close Gnome Sound Controller and reopen it, the Locked Box is checked again. And after trying to unckeck them Gnome Sound controller crashes. I see the following error message : This version of the Gnome Volume Controller has been compiled with the version 3.8.2 of OSS but your system is using the 3.8.16 version.

_ When I launch XMMS and tr to play a song nothing happens and XMMS stops reacting to commands and finally crashes. I'm using xmms-1.2.7-13.

_ When I use Mplayer I get sound ok when it uses oss but not when I instruct the soft to use alsa9.


These are the symptoms. Now here is my configuration :
kernel 2.4.18-18.8.0
alsa-kernel-0.9.0-fr0rc6.1_2.4.18_18.8.0
alsa-driver-0.9.0-fr0rc6.1

/etc/modules.conf

alias char-major-116 snd
alias snd-card-0 snd-via82xx
# module options should go here
# OSS/Free portion
alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
