Hi, all
I have a AC97 sound card, which driver is "via82c***_audio" under
linux. But when i compiling the 2.6.3 kernel, after " make menuconfig",
i really can't find the driver in the kernel option menu: Device
Drivers-->Sound.....
Can someone give me some suggestion about the problem?
Thank you in advance!

Did you look through all the sub-menus?

Really?

ALSA is included in the 2.6 kernel but you only see the list of devices if
you say [y] to Sound Card Support then go into the ALSA section then PCI
Devices and you will see "VIA 82C686A/B, 8233 South Bridge (NEW) 0xB 0xB"
listed there.

Hi,


Device Drivers -> Sound -> Advanced Linux Sound Architecture -> PCI
Devices -> VIA 82C686A/B... (press 'Help' and you can see the cfg item
is named CONFIG_SND_VIA82XX:

I'm using 2.6.5 by I think there should be not difference..

also for my onboard snd chipset, the driver doesn't work very good, it
will constantly have some glitch, I still can't figure out what's wrong
with it..

If you make it work, would you please tell me whether the driver for you
is working properly or not??

do you have a laptop? On a friends laptop, the battery monitor polled
apm/acpi (can't remember which) every 1s or so and caused movies and
sound to glitch every second... HTH, --

I have just had to remove the batt stat applet from my dell laptop.
Everytime it checks the charge, it pauses the kernel slightly making
time keeping (even with ntp) very unstable. This applet also caused
similar problems in the past (several months ago) but was then ok up
until the last round of gnome updates - dont know whats changed though.
Last time it was an upstream problem, not gentoo and was supposed to
have been fixed.

Thank you for your replay. I have found it in the kernel option and
added it into the kernel. I compile the snd_via82xx driver as a module
and set it auto loaded by adding it in the file
"/etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6". After rebooting, I use "lsmod" to
check the loaded modules and it surely has been loaded.
But the small speaker icon in the gnome tool bar still has slash across
it, which means the sound card can not work. When i click the speaker
icon, an error message note pops said "Couldn't open mixer device
/dev/sound/mixer".
I have enabled the sound support in the kernel, and loaded the proper
driver module, What is wrong?
Thank you for any suggestion.

Try enabling the "OSS Mixer API" under the "Advanced Linux Sound
Architecture".

You need to either configure GNOME to use ALSA as opposed to OSS (I'm not a
GNOME user so don't ask me how!), or configure "OSS emulation" under the ALSA
section of the kernel config (and load the relevant modules).

I always recommend the second post down on this page (by agent_jdh) for the
best way to set up ALSA.
