Hi, After a long time and a lot of tries, I managed to compile, config and load the Alsa driver for Intel8x0 with OSS emulation, however, it plays no sound at all... :-( I have RedHat 7.1 with 2.4.14 kernel which I compiled with devfs. Oh... before I get the 'all mixer channels are muted by dafult' answer, I did raise the volume of all of the channels using both alsamixer and KDE's kmixer. Any idea? I am trying to use Alsa for a long time by now... BTW it is not a hardware or cabeling problem, since the kernel's driver for Intel8x0 does play sound (but is buggy - plays too fast and crashes KDE's Artsd). Thanks, Asaf Gery.
