I've searched everything known by Google about this chipset under ALSA, but am still having troubles getting sound to play.
I have everything unmuted, with volume cranked up. Here is my modules.conf: # --- BEGIN: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. --- # --- ALSACONF verion 0.4.3b --- alias char-major-116 snd alias snd-card-0 snd-card-intel8x0 alias char-major-14 soundcore alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-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 options snd snd_major=116 snd_cards_limit=1 snd_device_mode=0660 snd_device_gid=29 snd_device_uid=0 options snd-card-intel8x0 snd_index=0 snd_id=CARD_0 # --- END: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. --- After booting, all the right modules are loaded. Everything under /proc/asound looks fine by my eyes. It reports the Intel ICH device as available for audio playback both by ALSA and OSS emulation. However, when I use aplay to play a small .wav file, it hangs trying to write to the device. aplay just never comes back. So far, I have been able to generate nothing but silence. If I then modprobe -r all of ALSA's modules, and load these three OSS modules: soundcore ac97_codec i810_audio I can hear sound again just fine. So why would the ac97 and i810 drivers in ALSA not be able to play sound? Please copy me on any responses, since I do not subscribe to this list.
