I am trying to use alsa to install my sound, I have installed all of the alsa packages, a lot of the time it said things like 'nothing to be done for directory blah blah' though but that may be because I have just reinstalled them in the hopes that may make a difference. Anyway, I tryed loading the module and it is not working, the problem seems to me to be that something has been installed from the alsa-libs but I don't know what to do about it, any help appreciated. Output from Konsole underneath.

bash-2.05a# modprobe snd-via82xx;modprobe snd-pcm-oss;modprobe snd-mixer-oss;mod probe snd-seq-oss

/lib/modules/2.4.18/kernel/sound/pci/snd-via82xx.o: init_module: No such device
/lib/modules/2.4.18/kernel/sound/pci/snd-via82xx.o: Hint: insmod errors can be c aused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg
/lib/modules/2.4.18/kernel/sound/pci/snd-via82xx.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.18/k ernel/sound/pci/snd-via82xx.o failed

Did you recompile your kernel with via82 sound as modules? Are the via82 modules listed when you do the /sbin/lsmod command?

Did you look in the /lib/modules/2.4.18/kernel/sound/pci directory for the files listed?

Okay, I reinstalled alsa completely and it went fine, then I ran alsaconf and it loaded the modules and adjusted the sound volumes so that they are at an audible level. But still the sound doesn't work. Also I still get the same error when trying to run alsamixer. Thanks.
