[gentoo-user] Two things, AC97 sound and Gnome issues!

[gentoo-user] Two things, AC97 sound and Gnome issues!

[Christopher E]

Hello all,

if there is any one that can help me with the following two issue I
would be greatful.

1.  I am have a error message when booting about snd_via82xx not
found.  FATAL: Module snd_via82xx not found.  is the exact message.

I have the driver as part of the kernel, when I don't ALSA then gives
a message like this:
ALSA device list:
  Sound Card not found

I have emerged hal, dbus, alsa-utils and have added all of them to
rc-update level boot.  I have run the alsaconf.

2.  Now with gnome, when I type startx at the prompte I get the logo
and then it stops, I then have to move the mouse and click on the logo
and it goes away and then its just a blank screen.  I have to do
ctrl+alt+backspace to get out and get to a prompte again.

If you have any other questions that I have not answered here please
ask so this may get fixed.

If any one knows how I could fix these issue I would be greatful and
thankful to you.

Sincerely,
Christopher

alsasound service normally tries to load all the stuff it detects as modules. 
If you ran alsaconf, then in /etc/modules.d/alsa there will be a line 
aliasing the snd_via82xx module. you can safely remove it, which will get rid 
of the message. Alternatively recompile the kernel with that option as a 
module, and it will load as alsasound expects at boot. 

The gentoo base seems to work better with kernel as modules, and if you change 
your hardware and already have the modules built, simply rerunning alsaconf 
will reconfigure your sound setup appropriately.

Are you  sure your sound module is "snd_via82xx"?I have a AC97 sound
card,and the modules is not this one.

See the message after you do " ctrl+alt+bachspace"!

Hello there,

my sound seems to work, but not that concesit.  like I have skype ring
some times and other times it does not, then with my mic it plays
through the speakers

Any ideas to why and who to get it stable?

when I do a lspci I get this for my sound card:
00:11.5 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc.
VT8233/A/8235/8237 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 60)

Sincerely,
Christopher
