Bug 21331 – Missing alsa-driver-0.9.0_rc6, which is the only one that works with VIA8233A chipsets

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Matteo Giordano 2003-05-20 07:25:28 UTC]

In the last week alsa-driver-0.9.0_rc6.ebuild was removed from Portage, so a
bunch of friends and I with Olidata (Italians) desktops and notebooks with the
integrated VIA8233A sound chipset are unable to freshly install ALSA on ours
computers. I think that the ebuild should be available again.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have a VIA8233A sound chipset
2. emerge alsa-driver

Actual Results:  
Sound is crappy!

Expected Results:  
Play sounds and AC/DC good :)

Created attachment 12212 [details]
alsa-driver-0.9.0_rc6.ebuild

this is the old alsa ebuild. but you realy dont need it. because with the new
0.9.2 the problem with the via card is gone.
or you can take one of the new one >=0.9.2 ebuilds.

if you still have problems, then try deselecting acpi in your kernel or at
boot-time (acpi=off).

cheers

won't fix since the later versions already in portage take care of it...
