Most recent kernel where this bug did not occur: 2.6.21+ Distribution: Hardware Environment:VIA-EPIA Software Environment:Knoppix... Problem Description:No KDE sound for 2.6.21+ Steps to reproduce: Copy SOUND_VIA82CXXX and MIDI_VIA82CXXX chapter from /oss/Kconfig 2.6.20 to 2.6.21+
The option should still be present in 2.6.21 and 2.6.22, it was removed in 2.6.23. And it was deliberately removed in 2.6.23 since the OSS driver for this hardware is obsoleted by the snd-via82xx ALSA driver. Why don't you use the ALSA driver?
Alexey, Have you tested with latest 2.6.23+ kernel by chance (as suggested in #1)? Thanks.
