Have you run #alsaconf ? What happens when you do?
It shows:

Ok, you are making progress. When you ran alsaconf, did you select the
intel8x0 card? If yes, did alsaconf complete successfully? It usually
says something like "now your driver is installed, enjoy!" Is that what
happened?

Now ALSA is ready to use.
For adjustment of volumes, use your favorite mixer.
Have a lot of fun!

Yeah. As you can see, it shows some unresolved symbols. Otherwise, it
seems to have run well. I cannot cut and paste the curses windows of
course, but I think I answered those correctly.
Assuming that this is true, you can run alsamixer (no need to be root)
and adjust the setting to your taste. Voilà you should have sound.
I'm really sorry. It still behaves the same. I did run alsamixer, and
set all the items that moved to the top of their green zones. I tried
aplay on some things in the :/usr/share/apps/kolf/sounds# directory.
They seem to process, but I get no sound.
The easiest way to test this is to type aplay [path to some .wav file]
and you should here it. Once you do become root again (su or whatever)
and type alsactl store
and that's it.
Have fun. If you still have problems please be very specific about what
they are. Vague statements are very unhelpful.
Yeah, I know. Specifically, I have the same behavior as before. The
aplay yields no sound. The CD player shows it running along songs on a
Duke Ellington disk, but no sound comes out. Again I tried my other set
of speakers and nothing. All behavior is the same. No sound.
Cheers,
Jonathan
I still get this output from lsmod:

I'm going to be for now. I'll check this stuff tomorrow night. I was
tired tonight, so I may have missed something obvious. Perhaps tomorrow
I'll have a couple quality hours after work to check things. Thanks
again for the feedback.
Sincerely, Xeno
