Subject: Re: soundcard probs/alsa probs/
I haven't used the 2.4 kernels for a while, so I'm rusty.

$ cd /etc/modules.d
# you should have a file 'alsa' located in this directory

$ cat alsa

Mine:
===============================================================
#BLAH BLAH BLAH
#BLAH BLAH BLAH

alias /dev/mixer snd-mixer-oss
alias /dev/dsp snd-pcm-oss
alias /dev/midi snd-seq-oss

# Set this to the correct number of cards.
# --- BEGIN: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. ---
# --- ALSACONF verion 1.0.6 ---
options snd device_mode=0666
alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0
alias sound-slot-0 snd-intel8x0
# --- END: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. ---
================================================================

Yours?:
================================================================
#BLAH BLAH

alias /dev/mixer snd-mixer-oss
alias /dev/dsp snd-pcm-oss
alias /dev/midi snd-seq-oss

options snd device_mode=0666
alias snd-card-0 snd-atiixp #?
alias sound-slot-0 snd-atiixp #?
================================================================

#change if needed
$ modules-update
$ /etc/init.d/alsasound restart
$ alsamixer #any luck?
