Via vt8233(a) problems
I have practically read ALL the threads concerning soundblasters problems. After 2 days of trying i am pretty much sick of it :evil:, so I hope anyone can help.
Here is what I have done so far... (I tried from cd and hd install)
I boot knoppix and the program seems to locate my soundcard and uses a driver via82xx or something like it.
Once everything loaded no sound can be heard. The info center tells me no soundcard details are available.
When I try to use the knoppix soundconfig tool (v0.57), It tells me what kind off soundcard I have (via vt8233) and then it says the card is not yet supported.
So I tried to use the ALSA driver...
This is what I have done so far
Boot knoppix alsa (cheat)
Knoppix loads
Load control centre, set driver to ALSA and eventually load rts soundsystem.
open shell and type "aumix unmute" or " aumix -v 70 -w 70 -cd 70"
This is now what the info centre tells me (Midi isn't enabled in Bios)
Code:
sounddriver:3.8.1a-980706 (ALSA v0.9.2 emulation code)
Kernel: Linux Knoppix 2.4.22-xfs #1 SMP Fr Okt 3 20:36:25 CEST 2003 i686
Config options 0
Installed drivers:
Via 8235 at 0xe00, irq 3

0: VIA 8235 (Duplex)
Synth Devices: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG
Midi devices: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG
Timers:
7: System timer
Mixers
0: Analog Devices AD1980
So as stated the midi is off in bios so theres nothing wrong with that.
For the rest everything seems to be configured. Aumix is not muted, and I still don't hear any sound. Kmx player loads an mp3 and I see the bars going up and down, but don't hear sound. The kde Voice and sounds can't be heard either.
When I type dmesg I see the folowing.

There seem to be some irq problems with irq 10 , 3 and 2 (soundblaster uses 3)
Bios uses auto irq assigning i think. But this shouldn't be a problem, at least not in windows.
The alsa thing also reports some codec not valid errors.
Since the infocentre dat looks good I am very confused.
Btw: The sound blaster does work in windows.
And as i couldn't see any real solutions for this sound blaster on this forum i'm asking for help.[/code]
