Lot of people are asking on how to get motherboard - integrated soundcard AC97 to work. I wrote about it some time and below is basically the repost (cut n paste) to make it easier to find.
I have VIA motherboard and integrated AC97 sound card probably just like you.
OK here are the steps that are working for me:
1. you must have kernel with sound support included but you don't have to include any particular soundcard driver, just sound card support.
2. download drivers from alsa (the latest)
3. unpack, go to the directory and do:
./configure
make
make install
./snddevices
4. now write:
modprobe snd-via8233
modprobe snd-ac97-codec
modprobe snd-mixer-oss
modprobe snd-pcm-oss
5. no errors? now write
aumix
and make the louder (you can choose Save and it will create the file .aumixrc in your home directory, then you can just use
aumix -f ~/.aumixrc
)
6. Write:
mpg123 /mymusic/mysong.mp3
Aaaaaa. Sound!
