Re: Re: Trouble setting up ALSA on Asus K8U-X motherboard

["Dan Wolfgang" <danwolfgang@gmail.com>]

I'm also using an Asus K8U-X motherboard and am not having luck
getting any sound to work. I must admit that I'm new to Linux and am
not quite sure of what I'm doing.

I see the same results as Eduardo did: the sound card is identified:
0000:00:04.0 Multimedia audio controller: ALi Corporation M5455 PCI
AC-Link Controller Audio Device (rev 20)

The Intel 8x0 module is loaded:
snd_intel8x0           29724  0
snd_ac97_codec         86560  1 snd_intel8x0
snd_ac97_bus            4096  1 snd_ac97_codec
snd_pcm                77700  2 snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec
snd_timer              22532  1 snd_pcm
snd                    48612  4 snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm,snd_timer
soundcore               9824  1 snd
snd_page_alloc         10376  2 snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm

But no soundcards are found. I guess I'm not quite sure of what to do
with the buggy_semaphore=1 fix. I enter
modprobe snd_intel8x0 buggy_semaphore=1
and don't get any feedback from modprobe (should I?) and no soundcards
are still found. I enter it, then try rerunning alsaconf, with the
same result of no soundcard. I'm not sure of what else to do. Can
anybody help?
