[Alsa-user] VIA8237 and no sound

[Mike K. <mik...@ya...>]

I have recently set up a computer for my daughter from old parts.  It
uses the VIA 8237 chip.  I can get no sound from speakers.  I have
checked the bios and it is enables.  I checked the mute in system
settings and it is not muted.  I tried a bunch of thinks from cli with
the help of someone from #alsa to no avail.  This equipment is about 5
years old...


$cat /proc/asound/cards 0 [V8237          ]: VIA8237 - VIA 8237
                      VIA 8237 with AD1888 at 0xb000, irq 22

$lspci |grep -i "multi\|audio\|040[0-3]"00:11.5 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8233/A/8235/8237 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 60)

$aplay -l**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: V8237 [VIA 8237], device 0: VIA 8237 [VIA 8237]
  Subdevices: 4/4

card 0: V8237 [VIA 8237], device 1: VIA 8237 [VIA 8237]

I even ran the alsa script and the results are here... http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=87889266ccc2ce6066cac3a10f4b193a5f37cdd3

Note, I am using Kubuntu Jaunty with 2.6.28-11 kernel. 

Any help?
