I've tried everything to no avail. My Asus P4PE (Intel 845 w/ AD1980) will not produce sound on my fully patched RedHat 9 system. Judging by the number of postings about this same subject without resolution, I am making the assumption that I am not alone. I've tried to use the default sound - No Luck. I've tried the alsa packages from FreshRPMs - No Luck. And, most recently, I've tried to build the source downloaded straight from alsa-project.org - No Luck. The sound modules appear to load fine, but there is no sound. I've tried plugging the speakers into the microphone jack and countless other suggestions from various postings. No luck. Does anyone out there have this working? If so, please help the rest of us. Here is my /etc/modules.conf for the alsa stuff: # Audio Driver (alsa) alias char-major-116 snd alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0 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 post-install snd-card-0 /usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || : pre-remove snd-card-0 /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || : alias snd-card-1 off alias snd-card-2 off alias snd-card-3 off Thanks, Brian
