OK, having installed 10.0, I now have supermount sorted out and (fingers crossed) nvidia drivers working. But I still have no sound. This is with the notorious onboard VIA chip. I've run through the troubleshooting process (not that I could understand much of what it told me) and followed all the advice on the Twiki, but still no sound.

Here's what /etc/modules.conf says

probeall scsi_hostadapter sata_via
probeall usb-interface usb-uhci ehci-hcd
alias agpgart via-agp
above snd-via82xx snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-slot-0 snd-via82xx
options snd-via82xx dxs_support=2

(the last line was one I added after reading the Twiki)

The relevant parts of the lsmod output are

snd-seq-oss            31264  0
snd-seq-midi-event      7552  1 snd-seq-oss
snd-seq                51248  4 snd-seq-oss,snd-seq-midi-event
snd-pcm-oss            51812  0
snd-mixer-oss          17824  1 snd-pcm-oss
snd-via82xx            23648  0
snd-pcm                93220  2 snd-pcm-oss,snd-via82xx
snd-timer              24516  2 snd-seq,snd-pcm
snd-ac97-codec         57540  1 snd-via82xx
gameport                4480  1 snd-via82xx
snd-page-alloc         11972  2 snd-via82xx,snd-pcm
snd-mpu401-uart         7072  1 snd-via82xx
snd-rawmidi            23616  1 snd-mpu401-uart
snd-seq-device          8008  3 snd-seq-oss,snd-seq,snd-rawmidi
snd                    52580  12 snd-seq-oss,snd

The only thing that I can think of looking at this is that OSS isn't playing nice with ALSA.

"/sbin/chkconfig list --sound"  and "--alsa" give
sound           0:off   1:off   2:on    3:on    4:on    5:on    6:off

It's not a KDE thing, since sound doesn't work in IceWM either, and it's not a hardware thing, as it works in that other operating system.
