Hi,
Apologies for such lame questions, but I've just installed ALSA and a soundcard and am having some problems. This is a new computer - I've never bothered with computer audio before - and fullish details of the configuration are at http://www.acooke.org/andrew/writing/tonto.html#alsa My problems are: - unless I run modprobe snd-card-ice1712, no modules are loaded. How can this be done automatically? I assume I have to put something in a file in /etc/modutils, but it's not clear what or where. - I've connected the soundcard o/p sockets to an amp, but hear nothing when I run the KDE CD player. I have un-muted things using the alsa mixer app (and turned everything to "maximum"). What am I doing wrong? (This was a first test - in other words I have heard nothing from the card). Is there a simpler way to test the card? - I don't understand the alsamixer display - what are all those sliders controlling? It's probably obvious that I need an idiot's guide to ALSA. Is there one out there? Any info I learn will be added to the URL above, so could help become a mini-howto.
