[linux-audio-user] via82cxxx_audio

With help from a few kind people here, I got my ALSA sound working with xine. However, this was at 8 bits of color depth, and the video picture was not too good. So I tried 16 bits, which made xine fail, as it did MPlayer. But at 24 bits, MPlayer came to life and showed a picture that was (probably) as good as it gets. But... MPlayer doesn't like ALSA sound. It tries to keep video and audio in sync for 10 or 15 seconds; then it gives up and goes silent. It says my system is too slow; one of the reasons might be slow audio. So I thought I'd try the via82cxxx_audio module that is in the "official" 2.4.20 kernel. But... I can't insmod the module. It complains /lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/drivers/sound/via82cxxx_audio.o: init_module: No such device Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters. You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg /lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/drivers/sound/via82cxxx_audio.o: insmod /lib/modules/ 2.4.20/kernel/drivers/sound/via82cxxx_audio.o failed /lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/drivers/sound/via82cxxx_audio.o: insmod via82cxxx_audio failed (No, neither syslog nor dmesf offers more information.) Am I missing a /dev? Which one? Thank you, Sakari Aaltonen
