If your card is detected without any errors, and it loads the module
properly, and your sound apps do not generate any errors when you play a
sound file, then check your /etc/.aumixrc file, and look at the volume
levels. When I upgraded my alsa driver, the sound got set to all zeros!
Compare your file to mine, below:
vol:80:80:P
synth:80:80:P
pcm:80:80:P
line:80:80:P
mic:0:0:R
cd:80:80:P
igain:80:80:P
line2:80:80:P
line3:80:80:P
Where all those 80's are, it had zeros instead. All I did was change them,
and that fixed it. The numbers should be between 0 and 100, so find a good
level for your system.
If you are getting errors in eithre the initial loading of the driver
(look at /var/log/messages), or errors in your apps when they play sound,
then my advice won't help.
But I do remember someone else here recently saying that he had to add his
user profile to the 'sound' group. Somehow it had gotten removed from that
group.
