Dear tambun: I logged in as root and was able to execute alsaconf in the terminal window. When it searched for the correct audio card, it did find it. I proceeded to allow alsaconf to configure that soundcard. The program then told me that the sound driver was configured and would proceed to prepare the card for playing. The program then stated that the mixer was set up for playing and would play a sample sound when I clicked on "Yes". No sound played, however, and the program returned the following before returning me to the command prompt: Now ALSA is ready to use. For adjustment of volumes, use your favorite mixer. Have a lot of fun! But the text returned to the terminal window that I scrolled up to recover contained less happy news: Loading driver... Starting sound driver: maestro3 done Setting default volumes... amixer: Mixer attach default error: No such device and below that: ALSA lib confmisc.c:768:(parse_card) cannot find card '0' ALSA lib conf.c:3510:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_card_driver returned error: No such device ALSA lib confmisc.c:392:(snd_func_concat) error evaluating strings ALSA lib conf.c:3510:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_concat returned error: No such device ALSA lib confmisc.c:1251:(snd_func_refer) error evaluating name ALSA lib conf.c:3510:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_refer returned error: No such device ALSA lib conf.c:3982:(snd_config_expand) Evaluate error: No such device ALSA lib pcm.c:2145:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM default aplay: main:546: audio open error: No such device I wonder if you or anyone out there can help interpret these results and give me some additional guidance.
