I attached a file below with the output of lspci -vvv (it's almost 200 lines). Also, make it really matters HOW do you play the files - if with XMMS, then with aplay, as the document says. BTW, I killed KDE's aRts daemon. make sure you either using the ALSA driver in XMMS or if you use XMMS with I changed XMMS to use ALSA. But I have afeeling the more basic aplay is the way to test... OSS drivers - the the snd-pcm-oss drivers are loaded to memory.. BTW: you better upgrade - the 0.9.8 got some bugs fixes (although still not for ALi 5451 - the shit chip inside IBM R40e notebooks..) OK, will look for it. I was just taking what's in Debian and until you said so I though that 0.9.6 is the latest.

Hi, If you have read the ALSA instructions - you really don't need to compile all the drivers - just PCI, and your driver that is needed.. Could you supply please the output of /sbin/lspci please?

I've been following various FAQ's, HOWTO's, most successfully (in terms of not failing, and programs claim that they succeed playing audio) the ones at: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/alsa-guide.xml (it's a gentoo doc, but the instructions are good enough for my Debian). The status now is: 1. I installed alsa 0.9.6 and compiled all sound cards. 2. I configured modules as per the instructions in the page above (after letting ALSA determine by itself that my card needs the intel8x0 driver). 3. alsa start and friends stopped complaining, so is the kernel. 4. All sound programs claim that everything is cool. 5. Mixer unmuted and maximum volume enabled. 6. Loudspeakers connected to the right plug, turned on, full volume. (it works better if you plug it in and so on...) I don't know what else to do. Googling didn't find me any answers. Any idea?
