Hey again
My model is Apple Power Mac G4 500 AGP.
My old modprobe.conf (no sound only in snes9x)
-------------------------------------------------------
alias eth0 sungem
alias snd-card-0 dmasound_pmac
install dmasound_pmac /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install dmasound_pmac && /usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
remove dmasound_pmac { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove dmasound_pmac
alias ieee1394-controller ohci1394
-------------------------------------------------------
my new modprobe.conf (system sound, snes9x sound but no sound when playing audio cd)
-------------------------------------------------------
# ALSA portion alias char-major-116-* snd alias snd-card-0 snd-powermac
# OSS/Free portion alias char-major-14* soundcore alias sound-slot-0 snd-powermac
# OSS compatibility alias alias sound-service-*-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-*-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-*-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-*-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-*-12 snd-pcm-oss
install snd-card-0 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-card-0 && {
/usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || :; }
remove snd-card-0 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || :; };
/sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-card-0install sound-slot-0 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install sound-slot-0 && {
/bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L >/dev/null 2>&1 || :; }
remove sound-slot-0 { /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -S >>/dev/null
2>&1 || :; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove sound-slot-0-------------------------------------------------------------
Did i do the right thing by rpelacing my old modprobe.conf file with the one in the link given to me? Are there any other changes I should make?
I got system sounds (snes9x,gaim and KPPP when I cant connect) now but I cant play audio CDs in the cd drive. All i can do is use rhytmnbox to rip the songs from the CD into .ogg files and play them from the HDD. Is this as far as I can go?
Thanks again.

You didn't say which model you have. On some models, there is no way to get built-in sound working properly. If you do get some kind of sound, follow these steps to get sound working under YDL4: 1) Do a "yum update" as root to update EVERYTHING, not just the kernel. In particular, you should update kudzu and everything KDE. 2) Make sure /etc/yaboot.conf points to the new (2.6.10) kernel and initrd. 3) Regardless of step 2, issue a "ybin -v" coomand as root. 4) Regardless of steps 2 and 3, reboot. 5) Make sure your /etc/modprobe.conf file is correct. If it contains any references to "dmasound_pmac" in it, it is not correct. You must in that case manually edit the file so that the lines below the eth0/sungem/airport/ohci/ieee1394 stuff (if any) match the following: http://lists.terrasoftsolutions.com/pipermail/yellowdog-general/2004-December/017228.html 6) In the KDE Control Center, tell the sound server to use OSS instead of ALSA. Do not use Autodetect. 7) Reboot again.
