I have this audio device:
Quote:
Audio device: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT1708/A [Azalia HDAC] (VIA High Definition Audio Controller) (rev 10)


Can someone tell me how to setup kernel and which drivers I must emerge for this audio to work?

kernel.

afaik, the driver supports it.

we need more info such as how do you configure your kernel, its version and lsmod output

do you use genkernel or manual?

if the former, try running modprobe snd_hda_intel

the first one is hdmi which is part of your gpu.

run
Code:
grep VIA .config | grep HDA

on you .config, if the there is no match or it isn't enabled, enable it, recompile and restart.

if you do have it as built it, compile it as module.

if you are using a module, please make sure you've ran alsaconf and using alsamixer verify that it isn't muted.

also but sure to check that alsasound is running.

I configured my sound device as module, configure through alsaconfig and checked in alsamixer, but still no joy.

check dmesg to see if there is something fishy.

I can't find nothing fishy in dmesg.

now when I put lsmod I get this output:

That the chip is from VIA does not necessarily mean the codec is as well. Compile all codecs, the correct one should be loaded automatically.

Through the magic of Google (am I the only one who can use that thing?)...

Try adding pci=use_crs to the kernel line in grub.

Oh, and it is actually a VIA codec in this case. However, I've seen VIA chipsets that used a different codec.

what I find interesting is that there is no codec_via in your lsmod....

Ooh, interesting. Not VIA codec. So the correct modules got loaded. What exactly is the issue now?
