[linux-audio-user] Fwd: ALSA problem: No such device ??

I'm trying to get ALSA 1.0.9b up on a VIA Epia with an onboard VIA 8233
soundcard. I know the hardware is there because dmesg says:

-----
Via 686a/8233/8235 audio driver 1.9.1-ac3
ac97_codec: AC97 Audio codec, id: VIA97 (Unknown)
via82cxxx: board #1 at 0xDC00, IRQ 10
Enabled Via MIDI
-----

These messages come from via82cxxx_audio.c (I'm using the 2.4.26 kernel).

Furthermore, I can "cat foo.au > /dev/audio" and hear sound, and even mpg123
"foo.mp3" works - so I know the hardware is OK.

I ran snddevices and so the /dev nodes are there.

But when I try to load the module with "modprobe snd-via82xx" it loads many
modules but ends with:

-----
insmod: init_module: snd-via82xx: No such device
modprobe: failed to load module snd-via82xx
-----

lsmod says:
-----
root@email-addr-hidden 22# lsmod
Module Size Used by Tainted: P
snd-ac97-codec 56832 0
snd-mpu401-uart 2848 0
snd-rawmidi 12484 0 [snd-mpu401-uart]
snd-seq-device 3560 0 [snd-rawmidi]
snd-pcm 52012 0 [snd-ac97-codec]
snd-timer 13192 0 [snd-pcm]
snd 29360 0 [snd-ac97-codec snd-mpu401-uart snd-rawmidi
snd-seq-device snd-pcm snd-timer]
snd-page-alloc 4392 0 [snd-rawmidi snd-seq-device snd-pcm snd-timer
snd]
-----

I'm perplexed! I've gone through the alsa.org pages several times, especially
http://alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/template.php?module=via82xx but I'm
still stuck.

If anyone has any suggestions, I'd be really happy to hear them!

Thanks,

Jim tc4312@email-addr-hidden
