Re: nvidia CK804 sound card question
Okay, that modprobe command woke up the mixer and rexima found it with: rexima -d /dev/mixer and took control as it had done on other computers I had. I play frotz games and those have oss type sound effects in them I've not heard since the first days I played infocom games on dos on a pc all those years ago so this should be interesting. Thanks much for all who have helped. I'll put a couple more commands in the file I use to customize debian on this machine.

Re: nvidia CK804 sound card question
I just tried: modprobe snd_pcm_oss then tried echo $? and got back a 0 no other output from: modprobe snd_pcm_oss so in order to get that working I will probably have to install alsa-oss.

Re: nvidia CK804 sound card question
Jude, If "ls -al /dev/mixer" is not there, check that the package "oss-compat" is installed? If not sure post output of "apt-cache policy oss-compat" Hopefully this will fix it. -- "If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing." --- Malcolm X -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

According to [1] (which probably applies), you might want to try something like "rexima -d /dev/mixer". Parsing strings to rexima or aumix that have been taken from the output of lspci probably isn't the right thing to do. What exactly are you doing, and do you get any error messages?

Yes I have sound. rexima and aumix appear unable to locate any cards even with several different combinations of items parsed from the relevant lspci line.

JFYI, according to Debian's rexima package "NEWS.gz" file, that shouldn't be a problem: *** * Changes in rexima 1.3 Now allows mixer device file to be specified, so you can work with something other than /dev/mixer.

Re: nvidia CK804 sound card question
I ran both aumix -q and rexima and neither were able to find the sound card. The sound card shows up using lspci, but I don't know what to parse out of it for an ln -s command or if a /dev/mixer device if created would even work in this circumstance.
