VT82C686 - no sound

[hanasaki]

alsaconf is reporting it cannot be configured.... when the below modules 
are manually loaded, esd finds the /dev/dsp and runs but there is no 
sound.  Sound worked fine on 2.4.23

Any help would be appreciated. thank you

  This is not ALSA modules. If you have configured system for use with
ALSA, you don't have to use OSS modules. Use ALSA with OSS emulaton
instead. It should works.

But this _is_ ALSA with the OSS emulation modules loaded (snd_mixer_oss and 
snd_pcm_oss). :)
The OSS driver module is called via82cxxx_audio afaik.

Hmmm I think you are saying I have all the right things loaded?  So why 
does esd run but not make startup beeps and gnome makes no sounds and 
alsa play makes no sounds?

using kernel 2.6test11

Load your sound modules, then run `alsamixer' and check the volume
levels.  If they are sitting on zero (which is what I suspect) boost
them up to what you want and quit out of the mixer.

Then run `alsactl store'.  That will store your mixer setting to
`/etc/asound.state'.  Next, check `/etc/modprobe.conf' for a line
similar to...

install snd /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd && /usr/sbin/alsactl restore

...which will ensure that your mixer settings are restored whenever
your sound modules are loaded.

Some sound cards, when they initialise, have all their levels set to
zero.  You have to reset them every time the card initialises
(whenever the modules are loaded), which is what `alsactl' does.
