Hi Pithball, > Your /etc/modprobe.conf doesn't look right. Try this: Ok, I tried your lines, this time in /etc/modprobe.conf and /etc/modprobe.d/sound is non-existing. > I am not sure what changes were made when installing the alsa development > releases but the only thing you really need from those is your alsasound > file from the Driver package which you have already copied to /etc/init.d > (permissions 755). Yes, /etc/init.d/alsasound is there, with exactly those permissions. Now, I reboot my machine. After reboot, alsamixer still shows PCM/Front/Line/Mic/IEC958/Input So/Input So. Thus, no master volume, no external amplifier. Nothing muted, all volumes to 100. aplay -D plughw:0,0 or 0,2 /usr/share/sounds/info.wav seems to play, but I do not hear anything. Same without -D. (It just says Playing WAVE... no errors) Back to your routine: [root@localhost ~]# /sbin/service alsasound stop Shutting down sound driver: done [root@localhost ~]# lsmod | grep snd snd_page_alloc 11272 0 [root@localhost ~]# /sbin/service alsasound start Starting sound driver: snd-hda-intel done [root@localhost ~]# lsmod | grep snd snd_hda_intel 19732 0 snd_hda_codec 163840 1 snd_hda_intel snd_pcm 86276 2 snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec snd_timer 25604 1 snd_pcm snd_snd 63884 4 snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec,snd_pcm,snd_timer soundcore 10017 1 snd snd_page_alloc 11272 2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm Testing with aplay again. Nothing, also not with headphones in my headphone or line-out plug. > /bin/alsaunmute 0 Ok. What I can see is this sets PCM volume to 75, Front to 74. It mutes Mic. Testing with aplay... everything still the same. Let's try system-config-soundcard again, to generate a new /root/scsound.log file.
