 | The Asus K8V-X onboard audio, Anybody get it working in Debian Testing?
 |
 | Mine is recognized by kernel, and the sound modules are loaded:
 |
 | $ lspci | grep -i audio
 | 0000:00:11.5 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc.
VT8233/A/8235/8237 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 60)

 | $ lsmod
 | via82cxxx_audio        17404   0
 | ac97_codec             11252   0  [via82cxxx_audio]
 | uart401                 5860   0  [via82cxxx_audio]
 | sound                  48872   0  [via82cxxx_audio uart401]

 | via82cxxx               9256   1

 | However, there is no sound when playing a .wav file. Also, I've
 | checked (with xmix) that sounds are not muted.

I've got an Asus K8V SE Deluxe. The onboard soundcard is: lspci | grep -i audio 0000:00:11.5 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8233/A/8235/8237 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 60).

This seems to be the same as yours.

Looks a bit different from your setup. Anyway, my sound works fine with Sarge 2.6.8-2-386

Jonathan is using ALSA while the original poster is using OSS. I'd suggest to the original poster to use the ALSA modules (snd_via82xx, snd_pcm_oss, snd_mixer_oss) and take out the via82cxxx and via82cxxx_audio modules. Don't forget to use the alsamixer program to unmute the channels.
