Well, I was able to get around the problems I was having in beta{2,3}
with sound on my VAIO laptops (ymfpci kernel module) by hacking
modules.conf, but I am having *NO* luck in doing so in beta4!
No matter what kernel I boot into, devfs or not, I can't get any sound.
The only adjustment aumix has is for Mic. Not good. The kernel
module's loaded (using the default method as well as the work-around I
had for the earlier beta releases) and '/etc/init.d/{alsa,sound} status'
both say that sound's loaded.
In my case, with the stock 2.4.18-2mdk kernel, there _is_
/dev/{dsp,mixer}, but no /dev/sound or /dev/asound (if that matters).
Quite frustrating.

Hi, I had same prb with the Mandrake 8.1. 1 - what give you a "cat /proc/asound/sndstat" ? 2 - I give you my "modules.conf" file for the same module (it is big, tune the options field if needed) : [...] # ALSA portion alias char-major-116 snd options snd snd_major=116 snd_cards_limit=1 alias snd-card-0 snd-card-cmipci options snd-card-cmipci snd_index=0 snd_id="cmipci" snd_dac_frame_size=4 snd_adc_frame_size=4 snd_enable_midi=1 snd_enable_fm=1 # OSS/Free portion alias char-major-14 soundcore alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss [...] 3 - Check in "/etc/init.d/" that you have not the "sound" script file (only the "alsa" one). 4 - Check in "/etc/security/console.perms" that the line /dev/snd/* \ has been added in the class by these fellow Mandrake developers. I use 2 snd cards with Alsa drivers, it works perfectly for me. I can play 2 mp3 at different speed and I mix the 2 output, I plan to do something using Alsaplayer to change speed with joysticks/or hardware dev using the 2 joystick ports. Adrien.
