via82cxxx_audio doesn't play audio?

[Erik Andersen]

I went out the other day and bought an Athlon to replace my aging
celeron 400.  I installed an Epox EP-8KHA+ with an Athlon XP 1600+.
The VIA 8233 Southbridge on the motherboard has builtin audio

    00:11.5 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. AC97 Audio Controller (rev 30)
	    Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 11
	    I/O ports at cc00 [size=256]
	    Capabilities: [c0] Power Management version 2

I have enabled CONFIG_SOUND_VIA82CXXX and CONFIG_MIDI_VIA82CXXX
in 2.4.16 and everything seems to be fine.  When I load the
modules I see this:

    Via 686a audio driver 1.9.1
    ac97_codec: AC97 Audio codec, id: 0x414c:0x4710 (ALC200/200P)
    via82cxxx: board #1 at 0xCC00, IRQ 11

When I go to play audio, no sound is produced.  The mixer works.
I can load up the bttv drivers and I actually hear audio from
xawtv (so tvaudio is doing something right behind the scenes).
But standard apps such as xmms produce no sound.  Does this
driver not work for anyone else?

You need ALSA drivers.

Via 686 audio is different from Via 8233 audio, and you have the
latter.  The PCI ids were added to via82cxxx_audio, but they need to be
removed since they apparently do not work (contrary to one report I
received).

I have a similar problem with the 686b south bridge. The module loads
fine but no sound comes out. The alsa drivers don't work for this computer
either.

Thanks.  The ALSA drivers indeed work just great.  So yeah, do
pull the Via 8233 audio PCI IDs from via82cxxx_audio.  ALSA seems
to be the One True Path for these monsters.

Yeah, works for me on an Epox 8KTA3+ pro, same module.

PCI: Found IRQ 12 for device 00:07.5
ac97_codec: AC97 Audio codec, id: 0x4943:0x4511 (ICE1232)

      Controller (rev 80).

      I/O at 0xa000 [0xa003].

Alsa otoh doesn't work for me (it used to, but then...).

Which mixer do you use? gom works for me, maybe different mixers don't
work with all cards (I had that problem with 2.0 kernels, don't know
about todays state, though).

Regs,
Sven
