Hey Lee:
I have been using Linux since 1998 and my problem getting the
Realtek/snd-hda-intel card to work has been the most challenging Linux
task I have ever run accross. Following your many suggestions I now
have the following installed.
Latest Slackware 2.4.32 kernel complete source code compiled and
installed. I think this is the latest 2.4 stable kernel.
Latest Slackware alsa packages 1.0.11 ( drivers, lib, utils ),
precompiled with the 2.4.32 kernel, installed.
I then ran alsaconf which set up my system. It played a sound file that
I heard. With that setup I got the following results.
I was able to use aplay and and reproduce the playing of the above
sound file. I tried amp to play an mp3 file - no sound. I tried aplay
to play a cdda.wav file of a CD that was prepared by cdparanoia - no
sound. I tried mpg321 to play the mp3 file and the whole system locked up.
I went through all of the suggestions at the following website with no
success - http://alsa.opensrc.org/TroubleShooting.

Done
Have you tried the various model options for your codec described in
ALSA-Configuration.txt?
I looked in this file for model options and could find none. I tried an
option from a mailing list post with no success ( probably a different
card ). There was a suggestion that I copy /proc/asound/card0/codec#3
and forward it for analysis. I attach that file.
You cannot compile an old ALSA against a newer kernel.

I have now tried 4 different kernels and drivers from 1.0.9 to 1.0.12rc1
in various combinations and this latest setup seems to be about my best
chance because I have no compiling problems, no unresolved symbol
problems and I have an output channel ( PCM ) to unmute. Please advise.
