Hi,
I've alsa configured (ran alsaconf, alsamixer, alsactl store) and I can play
sounds, but I can't change the volume, not even as root and I don't get any
error. I'm using the following sound modules (selected by alsaconf):

snd_pcm_oss 50216 0
snd_mixer_oss 17920 1 snd_pcm_oss
snd_intel8x0 31660 1
snd_ac97_codec 67204 1 snd_intel8x0
snd_pcm 86408 2 snd_pcm_oss,snd_intel8x0
snd_timer 21636 1 snd_pcm
snd_page_alloc 9352 2 snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm
gameport 3840 1 snd_intel8x0
snd_mpu401_uart 6400 1 snd_intel8x0
snd_rawmidi 20516 1 snd_mpu401_uart
snd_seq_device 6792 1 snd_rawmidi
snd 47972 11
snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm,snd_timer,snd_
mpu401_uart,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq_device
soundcore 7648 1 snd

    I've an onboard sound card integrated with my ASRock GEPROM2
motherboard. I'm using kernel 2.6.7, with alsa drivers 1.0.4 and alsa utils
1.0.5 (Slackware default).
    First I tried with artsd, but the problems seems to be in alsa, I think.
Any help?
