Here's a URL for some useful ALSA help for your chip... http://alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/template.php3?company=C-Media&card=CMI8738&chip=CMI8738&module=cmipci > > What does /etc/modutils/alsa contain? > > alias char-major-116 snd > alias char-major-14 soundcore > > options snd snd_major=116 snd_cards_limit=1 snd_device_mode=0660 > snd_device_gid=29 snd_device_uid=0 > > 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 > > alias snd-card-0 snd-cmpci > #alias snd-card-1 snd-serial > #alias snd-card-2 snd-share > #alias snd-card-3 snd-virmidi > > alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 > alias sound-slot-1 snd-card-1 > alias sound-slot-2 snd-card-2 > alias sound-slot-3 snd-card-3 That looks OK as far as I can see. One thing to watch our for: the module option names were recently changed in ALSA 0.9rc5. The "snd_" was deleted from *all* ALSA module option names. Don't confuse this with the "snd-" prefix for ALSA module names! :-) You said earlier that you are running 2.4.18-k7 kernel with precompiled alsa-modules (0.9). Does that mean you installed alsa-modules-2.4.18-k7 from unstable? That version is based on ALSA 0.9rc1, so your option names (like snd_major) are currently correct. You may need to watch out for this change in the future, though. > snd-cmipci.o is in the appropiate /lib/modules directory That would be /lib/modules/2.4.18-k7/alsa, right? > > Does "lsmod" show that any snd* drivers are loaded? > "lsmod | grep snd" shows the following: > snd-seq-midi 3232 0 (unused) > snd-rawmidi 12864 0 [snd-seq-midi] > snd-seq-midi-event 3096 0 [snd-seq-midi] > snd-seq 37484 0 [snd-seq-midi snd-seq-midi-event] > snd-timer 10432 0 [snd-seq] > snd-seq-device 3904 0 [snd-seq-midi snd-rawmidi snd-seq] > snd 25704 0 [snd-seq-midi snd-rawmidi > snd-seq-midi-event snd-seq snd-timer snd-seq-device] > soundcore 3684 2 [cmpci snd] That looks OK as far as it goes, but your snd-cmipci driver is not getting loaded, for some reason. I believe that causes the error you're seeing. What happens if you run (as root) "modprobe snd-cmipci"? I don't know anything specific about this driver. The web page listed above shows some options you could try. "modinfo snd-cmipci" should give you the same information. But, I don't see anything there that you obviously need for basic operation.
