Hi,
I am sure I am missing something here. I am running debian woody with kernel
2.4.17 on an athlon 800 with a sblive and a delta-1010.
and
I have no sound. I have tried catting files, wav's, what have you to
/dev/snd/pcm* + /dev/audio and all I get is a slight buzz when doing so.
so first some background and system info.
After installing debian and upgrading to woody, I apt-get'd all the tools I
needed to bring this machine into X and installed ximian gnome desktop with
apt-get. after which I installed the nvidia driver and simultaneously built my
new 2.4.17 kernel with soundcore support and _no_ drivers as instructed by the
mini-howto and all the things I read in docs. X works fine, everything appears
normal and I install and grab the latest stable alsa sources from the main page.
Driver Library Utilities
0.5.12a 0.5.10b 0.5.10
I untar'ed em and systematically built them one by one as instructed in the mini
howto and INSTALL with
./configure --with-sequencer=yes --with-oss=yes --with-debug=full
make
make install
first alsa-driver, second alsa-lib, then third alsa-utils.
after which, I added the following to /etc/modutils/aliases
*note* I have been adding a few here after reading posts and observing the
members' modules.conf files
# alsa sound
alias char-major-116 snd
alias char-major-14 sndcore
options snd snd_major=116 snd_cards_limit=2
alias snd-card-0 snd-card-emu10k
alias snd-card-1 snd-card-ice1712
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
alias sound-slot-1 snd-card-1
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
options snd snd_major=116 snd_cards_limit=1 snd_device_mode=0660 snd_device_gid=29
snd_device_uid=0
options snd-card-emu10k1 snd_index=0 snd_id="SBLive"
------------------------------ snip ----------------------------------
with these everything seems okay. I insert the modules by hand in
/etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh like this
modprobe snd-card-emu10k1
#modprobe snd-card-ice1712
modprobe snd-pcm-oss
I'm commenting out the delta card driver for now since nothing works and I need
to get a grasp on what's going on.
viola. here's our modules.

alsamixer works beautifully. I unmute everything and save using alsactl store.
gmix also works too. don't know if that means anything =)
so if there's something obvious I'm missing I can't tell. It appears the driver
is loading correctly and I get no arguments or stderr to speak of when loading
the modules.
