I have installed the alsa kernel, driver, lib, lib devel and utils rpms. They installed without problems. I inserted the following into the /etc/modules.conf: # ALSA portion alias char-major-116 snd alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0 # module options should go here
# OSS/Free portion alias char-major-14 soundcore alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 # card #1 alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss I ran in a terminal: modprobe snd-intel8x0;modprobe snd-pcm-oss;modprobe snd-mixer-oss;modprobe snd-seq-oss and got no output as I should have. (1) Ran alsa mixer and set the volumes. (2) and inserted the following in the /etc/modules.conf file to have the mixer settings restored at startup: post-install snd-card-0 /usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || : pre-remove snd-card-0 /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || : The only thing I could not do (did not really know how to do), is remove the current sound module. I don't know how important this is. How do I list running modules, and how do I remove them? (3) anything else I have missed?? ----------------->>>> Docs are a little misleading... (1) No you shouldn't have until you make your alsamixer adjustments. (2) You have to UN-mute the levels in alsamixer and then set the volumes. Check the help.
