Re: C-Media 8738 ALSA problems

[Jude DaShiell <jdashiel@shellworld.net>]

alsa itself is the problem.  I had tried versions 1.0.6 and 1.0.8 on 
fedora core 3 and while alsa could raise the speaker volume fine attempts 
to play a wav file with play /usr/share/sounds/startup3.wav and aplay -q 
/usr/share/sounds/startup3.wav both resulted in absolute silence.  alsa is 
a security program, it's absolutely secure.  I still have 2.4-27 around 
and am going to put that on and eventually try to get gnopernicus talking. 
Can't do it without a working sound card though.
