OK :-) Lets see... basic stuff... are you a member of audio group? To check execute groups in a command line, and see if u are. If not, execute as root adduser login_name audio that will add the user login_name to group audio. If you are in a TTY, logout and login again. If u are in X, close the X session and open it again (no, closing the xterm doesn't work :-). Now that you are an audio user, try and see if it works. If not, make sure there is a /dev/dsp and a dev/snd/ folder. If not, you have to run the sndconfig.sh or something like that in /usr/src/modules/alsa-modules. if there is /dev/snd/ and still u can't play, make sure you ahve run alsaconf as root in the command line, and that you have selected there powermac sound. > gnome-alsa-mixer works without error. it's better! > > lsmod shows a lot of snd-*. > > > BTW, ALSA modules crash the laptop when going to sleep.

Well... a man snooze tells me that unless you are running snooze with the -f option, snooze will connect to pmud and issue a sleep command to it. Then, this means that unless you have configured properly the /etc/power/pwctrl script, that is, unless you have added the /etc/init.d/alsa stop under the 'sleep)' section and the /etc/init.d/alsa start under the 'wakeup)' section, the laptop will crash with a kernel Oops. If you wanna se what is that, just press gently (1-2 secs) the power button of your laptop, or close the lid. You will have to hard reset the laptop by pressing the power button for 4-5 seconds. Wanna give it a go? :-) If you need more help with this, just keep emailing, ok? I got into extasis when I knew it was ALSA that was crashing my laptop and that a little scripting could allow me to use the sleep function. Finally!! :-) -- J.
