Bug Description

In Dapper as well as Edgy (current as of 8/27/06) Ubuntu is setting up alsa on my Sharp PC-AV18 with 4 VIA DXS (alsamixer names) cranked all the way up. This creates a really nasty echoing of the login sound that just keeps going (forever prettymuch). The chipset is recognized as a VIA8235 card and a Realtek ALC202 Rev 0 chip.

Please unload snd-via82xx, then reload it with the dxs_support=2 parameter. If that works, try also the values of 3, 4, and 5. You will need to unload snd-via82xx after each test.

What commands exactly should I run. I have no clue how to unload modules.

For instance, in a Terminal:

kill $(lsof -t /dev/dsp* /dev/snd/*) ; sudo modprobe -r snd-via82xx && sudo modprobe snd-via82xx dxs_support=2
