    This was posted 2 day ago with no reply's forthcoming. Don't want to be
    offensive or sound
    pushy, but this is very important to me and represents the last issue I
    have getting a fully
    functiuonal KDE GUI working. So, please, if someone would take a look
    at my ALSA related
    modules.conf to see what may be incorrect. I have this gut feeling that
    I should remove all of
    ALSA and ALSA-OSS and just go with OSS, but I'm just a newbie having
    been with Debian
    Linus for about 4 months.

    Thanks for any feedback,

    Leonard Chatagnier

    Have tried for several weeks to get sound from my Dell Dimensions XPS
    T450 with YMF724F sound
    card and ALSA drivers. Have posted before on this issue with no
    solution forthcoming. My latest
    effort followed the instructions at
    www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/template.php?module=ymfpci#opt
    with no resulting sound from my pc. Using alsamixer, I unmuted all and
    set volume controls up to
    90% on everything; still no sound. Googling yielded lots of hits but
    nothing useful except the above
    URL. I'm using real player 10 GOLD and can play video news clips from
    Reuters and API on MyYahoo
    with good video output but no sound. I do get static from my speakers
    after setting the alsamixer so I'm
    confident the speakers are wording. ymfpci module is loaded. I ran
    update-modules after following the instructions at the above URL.
    Hopefully someone using the YMF724F card can tell me what is wrong and
    how to fix it, but would appreciate any help whatsoever. My ALSA
    related modules.conf is listed below:

    I also tried to set up the*_The .asoundrc file__
    _as shown in the above URL but am not familar with the vi command and
    couldn't figure how to
    save it. I just closed the terminal and cated the .swp file which was a
    binary an appeared to have
    the copied data in it. However, I don't think the .asoundrc file should
    have an .swp extension.
    Read man vi, but didn't understand it. Again, I'd appreciate any help
    resolving this issue.
    Thanks,
    Len Chatagnier
