[newbie] VIA Chipset: Sound ? Device busy Error.

2000-03-26 Thread Drazenko Djuricic





Hello 
out there,

my PC's 
Motherboard has a VIA / Apollo MPV4 Chipset (VT82Cxxx 
something).
Has 
anyone succeeded in making the sound work ?

I have 
tried with sndconfig - it sees a SB compatible device, but 
reports
errors 
saying Device busy. Same upon reboot, when the sound 
drivers
are 
being loaded, it says failed to initialize: Device 
busy.
I think 
it is a question of correct initialization / resetting of the 
device,
because 
under Windoze I never get such errors.

Has 
anyone out there such a chipset and made it work under Linux 
?

I know 
there are commercial packages such ass OSS/OpenSound
which 
would support that device, but I'd prefer the free Linux 
stuff
before 
spending money for commercial drivers.

Best 
regards and thank you for any help,

DJ.
