you only need the alsa drivers if
* you're still on 2.4 kernels
* you haven't activated the in-kernel drivers in your 2.6 kernel
I use the drivers of the 2.6 kernel and am just happy with it.
Check the following:
* The config file is /etc/modules.d/alsa
* Mine contains something like
alias /dev/mixer snd-mixer-oss
alias /dev/dsp snd-pcm-oss
alias /dev/midi snd-seq-oss
options snd device_mode=0666
alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0
alias sound-slot-0 snd-intel8x0
and it works. There are no further ALSA driver configuration files.
After this, try
/etc/init.d/alsasound restart
Use alsamixer in a console window to adjust the settings. Ensure master
is open and PCM is unmuted and open.
Best regards & good luck,
ce
