I can't get my Hoontech Sound Track YMF-754 XG D/B I card to make
any sounds at all. This card is in a Pentium system running the
downloaded version of Mandrake 9.0. When I fire-up harddrake, I
see the card correctly identified as a YMF-754 DS-1E Audio
Controller. Harddrake further claims that this card should use
the snd-ymfpci driver, and configures it like that. My
/etc/modules.conf file looks like this:
probeall usb-interface usb-uhci
alias eth0 eepro100
alias autofs autofs4
alias sound-slot-0 snd-ymfpci
probeall scsi_hostadapter BusLogic
above snd-ymfpci snd-pcm-oss

I fired up the alsamixer and played with all the sliders. It
does look like the sliders match the functions of the card, some
of which are unique, like S/PDIF i/o. This leads me to believe
that something is right. But, aplay doesn't cause any sound to
come out of the speakers. A CD playing app. doesn't make any
sound either.
I surfed on over to the ALSA setup page for this soundcard
http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/template.php3?company=Hoontech&card=Soundtrack+Digital-XG&chip=YMF754&module=ymfpci
and discovered:
- my kernel has soundcore in it according to modprobe (GOOD)
- I can't 'modprobe snd-card-ymfpci'. I get
'modprobe: Can't locate module snd-card-ymfpci'
But, I think I'm supposed to load that module since I'm
running the ALSA 0.9.0rc2 that comes with Mandrake 9.0, and
there's a note in the ALSA setup that says I should load
that module for ALSA below 0.9.11. Did I find a problem
here?
Should I trash my ALSA related stuff in /etc/modules.conf (put
there by Mandrake's harddrake) and start with what's in the ALSA
setup page? Do I need to find snd-card-ymfpci first?
Any ideas folks?
Thanks....
