For instance, what is your soundcard, your cpu/board,
some traces from lsmod, amixer, other tests ... well ... Some info !-)

Perhaps I should have taken a step back before I made that post. The real
question was "Has anyone come across an on-board sound system without a
proper mixer?".

OK, details,
kernel 2.6.10 patched for uml with skas3-v7
ALSA driver 1.0.8

God knows what my motherboard is, it came as a motherboard, cpu, memory,
graphics card bundle. Sound was not top priority.

From poking around in /proc/modules

Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8233/A/8235/8237 AC97
Audio Controller (rev
80).
IRQ 22.
I/O at 0xe400 [0xe4ff].

Of course, that says nothing about the hardware surrounding the chip.

I'm wondering if the simple solution might be to buy a decent low spec well
known sound card and disable the on board one.
