Need Help-YMF724F Sound Card And ALSA
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:

### update-modules: end processing /etc/modutils/alsa-base
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
