[Alsa-user] via82xx problems on L7VMM motherboard

[Mark <mri...@ro...>]

Okay, Here's my situation and I'm hoping someone can offer some advice. 
I have an ECS L7VMM motherboard with onboard sound using the vt8233. I'm 
running Mandrake 9.0 currently.  With the default alsa installed (I 
believe its 0.9rc2) I get some sort of stuttering from aplay.  It just 
repeats the first 1/2 second or so over and over again until I get the 
following error message from aplay:
        aplay: pcm_write:write error: Input/output error!

So, I thought that I should upgrade to the latest.  I then installed 
0.9rc7 and changed modules.conf to use snd-via82xx.  Same problem.  Then 
I read a message that said that rc7 has a bug in it with via82xx so I 
went back to rc6.  STILL same problem.  So finally I tried the latest 
CVS code and did a make and make install of the alsa-driver-*  And what 
do you know...STILL same problem.  If anyone could lend me a hand I 
would greatly appreciate it.  I'm still a linux newb so It's possible 
that I missed something obvious.  
Thank you much in advance,
    Mark
