Re: SoundChip Realtek ALC650 [Solved]
Thank you for this - it got me further than I had been before. But I still
have no sound.
When I used the modules.conf you suggested, I got "Intel ICH Audio Card
Not Found". But if I switch to uncomment the snd-via82xx line, the
modules load perfectly, and I'm able to run the alsamixer correctly. But
if I enable all the items in the mixer and then try to run alsaplayer, no
audio comes out of the speakers. The player seems to "think" it's working,
but there's no sound.

Any advice? I'd rather not surrender and install another sound card.
Thanks.
