Hi,
I'm running a sony vaio with a via82xx based sound card. I nver had any problems until recently.

At some point in the 2.6 kernel tree somehing has started going wrong. I'm not sure when, I dont use sound on this machine an awful lot.

I'm currently running

2.6.7-rc3-mm2

Pure udev system

and have alsa compiled as kernel modules.

I get
Code:

ALSA sound/pci/via82xx.c:2026: unable to grab ports 0x1000-0x10ff

From dmesg, and some, but not all devices showing up in /dev
Code:

anthony@venus anthony $ ls /dev/snd
controlC0  seq  timer
anthony@venus anthony $ ls /dev/sound
sequencer  sequencer2
anthony@venus anthony $ ls /dev

I know it is the correct sound card, it has worked in the past. Can anyone help?

I think, you have to disable "Character Devices"->"Sony Programmable Interuptcontroller"in your kernelconfig. Then your soundcard should work.

Hmm...hadn't thought of that, I will give it a try.

Any idea why it should work?
