Debian 2.6.8 sound


I've recompiled my kernel and sound doesnt'work.
Kernel=2.6.8
Code:
lspci
shows
Quote:
0000:00:11.5 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8233/A/8235/8237 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 50)
which I think used to use via82cxxx_audio.

Bad kernel recompilation might be the problem, so anyone please share how you got your sound working on 2.6?

From .config

You missed a couple of modules the one for your sound card for instance and the ac97.

You will not need all the ones I have but you will need the CONFIG_SND_MPU401_UART=m,
CONFIG_SND_AC97_CODEC=m and CONFIG_SND_VIA82XX=m for sure. Plus you need the packages alsa-base and alsa-utils installed. Then once you have the proper modules run the alsaconf as root and pick your card from the list. And as normal user in a console window run the alsamixer and set the volumes on the Master and PCM channels to about 75% and exit with the ESC key and the volumes should now be saved as default for when you next boot. What it looks like when working.
