What version of alsa-utils are you running? I've got the latest (1.0.26) here, and my alsamixer is 77312 bytes. It's possible you have a corrupted file. (Or it could just be differences in how Fedora and Slackware compiled it.) In your reply to my previous message, you said that the module was loaded, and that the kernel could see the card. This is good, since it helps narrow down the problem. It's possible that your alsa installation is broken. This would certainly account for your troubles. Note, too, that asla defaults to all outputs muted, until something comes along and unmutes them, which is probably why you don't have any sound. You might try re-installing alsa, and see if that helps. You also might want to check the Alsa home page, <http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Main_Page>, to see if they have any hints. Hope this helps. --Dale -- Q: What lies on the bottom of the ocean and twitches?
