I am using FC3 and kernel 2.6.12-1.1376 and an Intel i82801 sound chip

xmms gives notice:
Please check that your soundcard is configured properly
You have the correct output plugin.
No other program is blocking the sound card.
and then shows the xmms window with a very active audio band display.
How does one configure a sound card?
play <song.wav> gives
sox: can't open output file '/dev/dsp': device or resource busy
This can't hardly be true. This was the first thing I did after boot.
I've looked at alsamixer, aumixer and amixer to be sure none is muted.
Since sound played before I updated from the 2.6.9 kernel, and it
still works with knoppix, I'm sure the hardware is OK.
kudzu and /etc/sysconfig/hwconf indicate that the hardware has been
recognized and a driver (snd-intel8x0) assigned.
We no longer have sndconfig, although I don't know that it would help
here.
Any suggestions would be appreciated,

I had problems with my Intel sound card too. I had snd-intel8x0 and
snd-intel8x0m loaded. After I blacklisted sndintel8x0m and restarted, my
sound card worked.
Hope this helps,

I find these files in /lib/modules/2.6.12-1.1376_FC3/kernel/sound/pci/
Not sure what "blacklist" means -- probably remove it. Should I just
rename or erase the file in the directory above?
bruce
"blacklist" means you tell Fedora to not load the module, no matter
what. Add the following line into /etc/hotplug/blacklist and restart:
snd-intel8x0m
That's it! If your problem is the same as mine, after you reboot, sound
should be suddenly working!
Hope this helps you,
Justin
