my /etc/modules.d/alsa file contained this (after alsaconf) alias snd-card-0 snd-*** err [lib/liblow.c(329)]: alias sound-slot-0 snd-*** err [lib/liblow.c(329)]:
I changed it to alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0 alias sound-slot-0 snd-intel8x0 I saved the file and ran /etc/init.d/alsasound restart and got this: Loading ALSA modules ... Loading snd-card-0 ... FATAL: Module snd_*** not found. [!!] Loading snd=seq-oss ... [OK] Loading snd-pcm-oss ... [OK] ERROR: Failed to load necessary drivers [OK] Restoring mixer levels ... [OK] yes, that's an underscore in the FATAL message (and, of course, after this, alsamixer fails) Any input is greatly appreciated.

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 -- [email protected] mailing list -- [email protected] mailing list
