I have Via on-board sound and i cant get the audio to work. At first the problem was that /dev/dsp did not exist, so i loaded a couple of modules into the kernel (mostly following www.gentoo.org alsa-guide) after that, the error message became "could not open /dev/dsp permission denied" so i tryied chmod a+rw /dev/sound/dsp (also from gentoo docs) nevertheless, i stillo have no sound. For example when using XMMS if choose to use the Alsa driver, an error pops up telling me "failed to open audio output: Alsa plugin", so i choose Arts which doesnt trigger any errors but there is stillo no sound!! i ran "lspci |grep audio" and this is what returned 00:11.5 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8233/A/8235/8237 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 50) i had all the necessary kernel options (according to the gentoo doc) built-in in the kernel, including AC97 so i am out of ideas. If anyone has any clue of what i should do, it would be greatly apprecieated. Thanks in advance Rafael -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
