VT8233 AC97 Audio Controller from VIA Technologies
(using the ALSA via82cxxx_audio driver)

00:11.5 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8233 AC97
Audio Controller (rev 50)
Subsystem: Giga-byte Technology GA-7VAX Onboard Audio (Realtek
ALC650)
Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 22
I/O ports at e800 [size=256]
Capabilities: [c0] Power Management version 2
> 3) You should show us your modules.conf file as this loads drivers.
Here is modules.conf as of yesterday, when I ran the alsaconf script:
alias eth0 8139too
alias usb-controller ehci-hcd
alias usb-controller1 usb-uhci
alias eth1 8139too
# --- BEGIN: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. ---
# --- ALSACONF verion 1.0.0rc2 ---
alias char-major-116 snd
alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
alias snd-card-0 snd-via82xx
alias sound-slot-0 snd-via82xx
# --- END: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. ---
Note that the previous file, which I believe I created with alsaconf
last December, contained the same content, plus the following lines at
the end:
alias sound-slot-0 via82cxxx_audio
post-install sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L
>/dev/null 2>&1 || :
pre-remove sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -S
>/dev/null 2>&1 || :
This appears to have been left over from my pre-alsa modules.conf,
although I don't know why it survived the first use of alsaconf but not
the second.

Thanks for looking at all that -- I hope it tells you something useful.
