hi, Please let me know the following. I tried and tried a lot but no sound is coming out of my redhat 8.0 machine with INTEL 845 G chipset ( AD1980Codec) 1 ) Does ALSA ( I use the version 0.9.0rc6) version supports this codec? 2 ) Do i have to try with some other module other that 'snd-intel8x0' ? I could install all the modules as per the documents but no sound is coming. surprisingly none of the players seems to be complaining of the lack of driver. Its just that no sound. What could be wrong? thanks, Vinod My /etc/modules.conf -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc alias eth0 eepro100 alias usb-controller ehci-hcd alias usb-controller1 usb-uhci alias char-major-116 snd options snd snd_major=116 snd_cards_limit=1 alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0 options snd-intel8x0 snd_index=0 snd_id="ICH" alias char-major-14 soundcore alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 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 post-install sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L >/dev/null 2>&1 || : pre-remove sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -S >/dev/null 2>&1 || : Output of Dmesg ( TAIL) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PCI: Sharing IRQ 11 with 00:1f.3 PCI: Setting latency timer of device 00:1f.5 to 64 intel8x0: clocking to 48000 ide-floppy driver 0.99.newide hdc: ATAPI 52X CD-ROM drive, 128kB Cache Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.12 O/P of "lsmod" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Module Size Used by Not tainted ide-cd 33608 0 (autoclean) cdrom 33696 0 (autoclean) [ide-cd] snd-seq-oss 33920 0 (unused) snd-seq-midi-event 5640 0 [snd-seq-oss] snd-seq 47472 2 [snd-seq-oss snd-seq-midi-event] snd-pcm-oss 44420 0 snd-mixer-oss 15480 0 [snd-pcm-oss] snd-intel8x0 23648 0 snd-pcm 83328 0 [snd-pcm-oss snd-intel8x0] snd-timer 15304 0 [snd-seq snd-pcm] snd-ac97-codec 36100 0 [snd-intel8x0] snd-mpu401-uart 4796 0 [snd-intel8x0] snd-rawmidi 18400 0 [snd-mpu401-uart] snd-seq-device 6176 0 [snd-seq-oss snd-seq snd-rawmidi] snd 39404 0 [snd-seq-oss snd-seq-midi-event snd-seq snd-pcm-oss snd-mixer-oss snd-intel8x0 snd-pcm snd-timer snd-ac97-codec snd-mpu401-uart snd-rawmidi snd-seq-device] soundcore 6532 6 [snd] binfmt_misc 7524 1 autofs 13348 0 (autoclean) (unused) eepro100 22264 1 ipt_REJECT 3736 6 (autoclean) iptable_filter 2412 1 (autoclean) ip_tables 14936 2 [ipt_REJECT iptable_filter] microcode 4668 0 (autoclean) mousedev 5524 1 keybdev 2976 0 (unused) hid 22244 0 (unused) input 5888 0 [mousedev keybdev hid] usb-uhci 26188 0 (unused) ehci-hcd 17480 0 (unused) usbcore 77024 1 [hid usb-uhci ehci-hcd] ext3 70368 2 jbd 52212 2 [ext3] +,~wzf+,좷o%yO jj^'&+r-櫞.쨺hڴ6ޭ+x*&b jyޖm^Zw?[ǫx%@Ʈlqzm?X(~zwXb?j[ǫ
