You need to follow the directions in the README and INSTALL files included with ALSA. If you are able to run audio applications (say xmms) without any errors, but get no sound, then most likely you need to run alsamixer and alsactl (alsa mutes all channels by default). If you get an error saying "Can't open /dev/<mixer|dsp>" or something when you run audio applications, then you need to make sure that the module that supports your sound card is getting loaded. -- Cliff Wells, Software Engineer Logiplex Corporation (www.logiplex.net) (503) 978-6726 x308 (800) 735-0555 x308
