After much trial I was finally was able to get sound working on my linux box. But I still have a few issues. As of now I am unable to play a Cd or anything of that sort. The only time when I do hear sound coming out of my PC is when I start "esd" and when I play the "Tux race". I somehow was also able to activate the sounds on window events through the sawfish window manager, but was unable to repeat the experiment. Below is the log generated by the amixer utility shipped with the alsa drivers and that of the "/proc/modules" Do u guys sense any problems here. I can see the CD player recognizing all the tracks and paying it.. When i do "cat /proc/modules"
Thanks and regards Arvind This is the log of the amixer utility shipped with the alsa drivers ?Master',0 Capabilities: pvolume pswitch pswitch-joined Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right Limits: Playback 0 -

After issuing modprobe, the last few lines of dmesg might indicate what's going on. -- Sharat Chandra | Consultant, PicoPeta Simputers symonds.net/~sharath/ | sharat @ picopeta . com -----------------------+------------------------------- As usual, goodness hardly puts up a fight. -- Calvin ------------------------ Yahoo!
