 What is the actual problem?
 - Applications seem to play but no sound comes out?
 - Applications report no /dev/dsp device or the like?
 - Sound comes out but it's garbled/noisy?

No sound from anything at all.  MP3s, videos, system sounds, etc.  Kplayer 
etc. appear to play but there's no sound from the speakers.  (And yes, I have 
verified the speakers work and that they're properly plugged into the sound 
card.)

Alsaconf reports no card present in the system.  KDE Control Center says it 
can't start the sound system.

Is the sound enabled on the motherboard?  Are the proper modules
loaded, if applicable?  And have you tried alsaconf?

Re: [gentoo-user] ALSA / sound not working

I have a very similar board:

00:11.5 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc.
VT8233/A/8235/8237 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 60) 
Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Unknown device 8174 
Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 22
I/O ports at ec00 [size=256]
Capabilities: [c0] Power Management version 2

ALSA device list:
  #0: VIA 8237 with ALC850 at 0xec00, irq 22

and the 8233/8235 driver works just fine. I have no idea why yours
wouldn't though; this bit of info is about all I can help with. I can
send you my config.gz if you wish.

-Roman


 New install of amd64 with multilib on an Asus K8V Deluxe mobo.  Trying to get 
 sound working.  The kernel shows a VIA 82C686A/B, 8233/8235 AC97 Controller 
 driver.  dmesg shows:
 
 ALSA device list:
   #0: VIA 8237 with AD1980 at 0xc800, irq 22
 
 Does the 8233/8235 driver work with the 8237?  Is there a different driver 
 for 
 the 8237?  This seems to be the only one listed  in the kernel.  I have it 
 and ALSA compiled into the kernel, but no sound.  alsaconf fails with no 
 sound card found.  KDE control center sound module says it's unable to start 
 the sound server.
 
 cat /proc/asound/cards shows the same info as dmesg:
 
 0 [V8237  ]: VIA8237 - VIA 8237
 VIA 8237 with AD1980 at 0xc800, irq 22
 
 lspci -v gives a few more details:
 
 00:11.5 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. 
 VT8233/A/8235/8237 
 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 60)
 Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. A7V600/K8V Deluxe motherboard (ADI 
 AD1980 codec [SoundMAX])
 Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 22
 I/O ports at c800 [size=256]
 Capabilities: [c0] Power Management version 2
 
 Any hints or ideas?

The snd_via82xx driver work fine with the 8237. I've just moved a system
from a board with an 8233 to an 8237 and it worked as before, with no
changes needed.
