Thank you very much for your help. I can get sound now, BUT whenever I startx I must use alsamixer to unmute "surround" channel and increase the volume. Is there a way around this.
I am using KDE disktop in Red Hat 8.0 Linux 2.4.18-14. I have tried saving seting with aumix but there is no "sorround" channel.
Thanks, Robert Pastel

Hi Robert
From examining your modules list, you have sound enabled in the kernel and a module. I think the problem is this. The module i810_audio is the OSS module for your soundcard. I think the ALSA module is not loading because that is loaded.
Before making perminant changes, I suggest you try the following. Remove the i810_audio and soundcore modules with the following commands.
$ rmmod i810_audio $ rmmod soundcore
Then, ensuring you have your /etc/modules.conf file set up correctly, as suggested in the alsa-driver README file, load the alsa module.
$ modprobe snd-intel8x0
If the module loads with no problems, it is working. You can only have one module for a card loaded at a time.
In order to use your applications properly without changing too many settings, if any, I suggest you compile your ALSA drivers with the --with-oss=yes option, and unzip and install the alsa-oss-0.9rc8 package.
To ensure the alsa driver loads instead of the OSS driver, you would have to edit the start-up procedure for your system. I am not sure about RedHat 8, but I think there is a line in your modules.conf file that refers to the i810_audio module, as that is what happened when I installed RH 7.3 on another machine previously. Remove that line, and then copy the alsasound script from the alsa-driver package into your /etc/rc.d/init.d directory, and set it up to load on boot.

Hi Luke,
Thank you for your quick reply. I used the newest series alsa-driver-0.9.0rc8b, alsa-lib-0.9.0rc8c, and alsa-utils-0.9.0rc8a. I have not gotten as far as installing the tools or oss.
I configured the drivers with:
./configure --with-cards=all --with-sequencer=yes --with-kenerl=/usr/src/linux-2.4.18-14
so I did neither --with-oss=yes/no. Should I?
How do I enable sound in the kernel? Do you think that the general default settings of Red Hat 8.0 a problem?
below is the list of my modules:

Hi Robert
I have exactly the same bord, and can compile and install the module for the chipset with no problems at all. I am running Slackware 8.1 with kernel 2.4.20 patched with low latency and pre-empt. I am currently using alsa-driver 0.9rc8b, alsa-lib 0.9rc8b, alsa-utils, alsa-oss and alsa-tools are 0.9rc8.
What series of drivers, libs, utils, and oss packages do you have? Have you enabled sound in your kernel as a module? What exactly did you configure your alsa drivers with, I.E --with-oss=yes/no etc?

Hi,
I have Asus P4PE mother with AD1980, Anlogue Devices' SoundMax on board sound. After building all drivers, lib, and utils, I try inserting the module snd-intel8x0 driver on Red Hat 8.0 Linux 2.4.18-14 but:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] alsa]# /sbin/modprobe snd-intel8x0
/lib/modules/2.4.18-14/kernel/sound/pci/snd-intel8x0.o: init_module: No such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg
/lib/modules/2.4.18-14/kernel/sound/pci/snd-intel8x0.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.18-14/kernel/sound/pci/snd-intel8x0.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.18-14/kernel/sound/pci/snd-intel8x0.o: insmod snd-intel8x0 failed
Have I missed something? Should I be using a different driver?
