You might also want to install alsa-oss and alsa-base. I also have Realtek onboard audio with the ALC850 chip. I always build my own kernel and the latest version of alsa. I have alsa 1.0.10 installed with kernel 2.6.14.3 that I built myself. Below is the modules I am using for alsa. snd_seq_oss 38436 0 snd_seq_midi 10240 0 snd_rawmidi 30752 1 snd_seq_midi snd_seq_midi_event 9152 2 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi snd_seq 61400 5 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi,snd_seq_midi_event snd_seq_device 10192 4 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq snd_intel8x0 37096 0 snd_ac97_codec 108220 1 snd_intel8x0 snd_ac97_bus 2880 1 snd_ac97_codec snd_pcm_oss 58400 0 snd_mixer_oss 19584 1 snd_pcm_oss snd_pcm 104012 3 snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss snd_timer 28040 2 snd_seq,snd_pcm snd 68096 10 snd_seq_oss,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq,snd_seq_device,snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer snd_page_alloc 12112 2 snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm soundcore 12320 1 snd This is what my /dev looks like. 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 Nov 25 21:17 /dev/adsp -> adsp0 0 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 12 Nov 25 21:17 /dev/adsp0 0 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 28 Nov 25 21:17 /dev/adsp1 0 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 44 Nov 25 21:17 /dev/adsp2 0 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 60 Nov 25 21:17 /dev/adsp3 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Nov 25 21:17 /dev/dsp -> dsp0 0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root audio 14, 3 Nov 25 21:17 /dev/dsp0 0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root audio 14, 19 Nov 25 21:17 /dev/dsp1 0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root audio 14, 35 Nov 25 21:17 /dev/dsp2 0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root audio 14, 51 Nov 25 21:17 /dev/dsp3 You might try running alsaconf to detect your card or alsamixer to make sure your levels aren't all the way down. Other than that I don't know what to tell you. But the ALC850 chip definitely works with alsa. >From alsamixer: Card: ALi M5455 Chip: Realtek ALC850 rev 0 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
