Realtek ALC 650 soundcard not detected

[bluegeek]

I have a Shuttle SK41G (with a Realtek ALC 650 integrated soundcard) and I had
to add manually the line "via82cxxx_audio" to /etc/modules to get my sound card
working.

Please send the output of "lspci" and "lspci -n" so that we can arrange for the
module to be loaded automatically for your hardware

[Herbert Xu (herbert-gondor)]

via82cxxx_audio is the OSS module. Please load snd_via82xx instead.

Tested. Works well with this Alsa module too. Thanks.

This device is already in the hotplug pcimap:

snd-via82xx 0x00001106 0x00003059 0xffffffff 0xffffffff 0x00000000
0x00000000 0x0

Are you sure that the module was not loaded automatically for you at boot?
Reboot your system, and check with lsmod.

I think that you most likely encountered bug #8050, since you have a brooktree
capture card.

[bluegeek (bluegeek)]

I deleted the module from /etc/modules and rebooted. The card was detected (the
module was loaded) but esd fails with error "/dev/dsp not found".

I followed the instructions in bug #8050 adding this two lines in
/etc/modprobe.d/aliases and everything works now:

alias snd-card-0 snd_via82xx
options snd_via82xx index=0

alias snd-card-1 snd_bt87x
options snd_bt87x index=1

Thanks!
