Still having problems getting my VIA ac97 onboard sound working, but I believe I'm getting close and once again need some help.



I updated my kernel to kernel-2.4.20-2.9 (i686) along with all of its dependancies.

Here's some information from my system, hopefully one of you can tell me what to try next.


part of /proc/pci:
Bus 0, device 17, function 5:
Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8233 AC97 Audio Contro
ller (rev 64).
IRQ 5.
I/O at 0xe400 [0xe4ff].


[root@localhost agnor]# dmesg | grep via
via82cxxx: Six channel audio available
via82cxxx: board #1 at 0xE400, IRQ 5
Assertion failed! buffer != NULL,via82cxxx_audio.c,via_dsp_write,line=2498

modules.conf:
alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
alias eth0 tulip
alias sound-slot-0 via82cxxx_audio
post-install sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
pre-remove sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -S >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
alias usb-controller usb-uhci


lsmod returns:
via82cxxx_audio 24408 1 (autoclean)
uart401 8388 0 (autoclean) [via82cxxx_audio]

Thanks everyone :)
