Hello all, I am a Linux newbie and currently I have everything up and running excpet my Monster Sound MX300 sound card, which uses the au8830 chipset. After searching various forums for days, I learned that ALSA in the 2.6 kernel doesn't support my sound card, so I followed the instructions at http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=Quick+Install+-+snd-au88x0 and built alsa-driver 1.0.2c, alsa-lib 1.0.2, and alsa-utils 1.0.2 from source. All of the modules loaded as they should, as evidenced by using lsmod: Module Size Used by snd_mixer_oss 17600 0 snd_au8830 51296 0 snd_pcm 87780 1 snd_au8830 snd_page_allo 9412 1 snd_pcm snd_timer 22532 1 snd_pcm snd_ac97_codec 60228 1 snd_au8830 snd_mpu401_uart 6336 1 snd_au8830 snd_rawmidi 21088 1 snd_mpu401_uart snd_seq_device 7048 1 snd_rawmidi snd 48612 8 snd_mixer_oss,snd_au8830,snd_pcm,snd_timer,snd_ac97_codec,snd_mpu401_uart,snd_ rawmidi,snd_seq_device However, when I run alsamixer to unmute my sound levels, I get: alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device And if I run amixer, I get: amixer: Mixer attach default error: No such device lspci tells me that my card is there: 00:00.0 Host bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 735 Host (rev 01) 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SiS 530 Virtual PCI-to-PCI bridge (AGP) 00:02.0 ISA bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 85C503/5513 00:02.2 USB Controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] USB 1.0 Controller (rev 07) 00:02.3 USB Controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] USB 1.0 Controller (rev 07) 00:02.5 IDE interface: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 5513 [IDE] (rev d0) 00:02.7 Multimedia audio controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] Sound Controller (rev a0) 00:03.0 Ethernet controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SiS900 10/100 Ethernet (rev 90) 00:0f.0 Multimedia audio controller: Aureal Semiconductor Vortex 2 (rev fe) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: 3Dfx Interactive, Inc. Voodoo 3 (rev 01) I am also running KDE 3.1.5 without artsd. Any help would be greatly appreciated, as this is the last great hurdle until I have my system running smoothly, and I have posted here only after exhausting all other resources. Please Help! Gideon
