 Posted: Sat Mar 22, 2003 3:15 am Post subject: I'm starting to get frustrated with this via686a ALSA driver |
 |
|
I am trying to install ALSA and get sound working so I follow the ALSA install doc and it points me to the ALSA card matrix. I look up my card and see that the via82c686 uses the ALSA driver via686a. So I enter the command
| Code: | | env ALSA_CARDS='via686a' emerge alsa-driver |
and it comes back and says driver not found. What?!?!?!?! So, I search this forum and find a couple of other drivers that people said would work but they aren't there either. Does anybody know what driver to use since the driver ALSA says is the correct one they don't even have?
I am starting to get a little frustrated here.  |

| I don't think that that driver exists (any more). The name has been changed. Just to get things going:without the variable before it. That'll emerge all the drivers. Then you can try them all! Actually, I think it's probably via82xx (the module name is snd-via82xx). |

The VIA drivers are called 'via82xx' in releases after RC6.
Try:
| Code: |
ALSA_CARDS='via82xx' emerge alsa-driver
|
I also had problems with distorted tinny sound on releases rc7 and onwards with my via8233 chipset. However, RC6 seems to work perfectally, so if you experience any similar problems just downgrade. |
