Hi, I'm not sitting at my linuxbox now, so I'm not sure I'm telling you the absolute correct things now, but I try.
In lsmod I'm missing a module called "soundcore" (I think). Did you compile you kernel with sound support? Have you edited the /etc/modules.conf? Should look like this: ## Read alsa-driver's INSTALL file in /usr/share/doc for more info. ## ## ALSA portion alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1 ## If you have more than one, add: ## alias snd-card-1 snd-intel8x0 ## alias snd-card-2 snd-ens1370 ## OSS/Free portion ## alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 ## alias sound-slot-1 snd-card-1 ## And change the permissions in /etc/devfsd.conf (group audio can access the sound-devices) (most probably your mistake, it seems to me you don't have the permissions): # ALSA/OSS stuff # Comment/change these if you want to change the permissions on # the audio devices LOOKUP snd MODLOAD ACTION snd LOOKUP dsp MODLOAD LOOKUP mixer MODLOAD LOOKUP midi MODLOAD REGISTER sound/.* PERMISSIONS root.audio 660 REGISTER snd/.* PERMISSIONS root.audio 660 A good installation guide is http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/alsa-guide.xml (although it's for gentoo distro, it might be useful for anybode else - your config scripts will have other names). Good luck, Martin P.S.: Next time a subject might be helpful...
