Dear All, I have seen this problem listed so many times in this list bu ti am not sure about the way out yet. I have Intel 845 based board with AD1980 codec. I have installed modules and edited the /etc/modules.conf as needed (atleast, thats what i believe) . But Sound won't come. All my players including CD player and midi player shows that file is being played and do not complain at all. Only thing is that i cannot hear any sound in my machine. I have a Red Hat 8.0 kernel and ALsa version is 0.9.0rc6 compiled against . Hope somebody can help.
