lets see what you have in /proc/asound/cards and /proc/asound/devices
ah, and something else.
1) install latest kernel
2) install latest alsa drivers. Try may be also the development tree as
suggested in one other posting
i got the following, when i : sudo modprobe -v snd-ca0106
srvname:/home/roger# cat /proc/asound/cards
--- no soundcards ---
srvname:/home/roger# cat /proc/asound/devices
1: : sequencer
33: : timer
1) i am concerned about the latest kernel...I really do not want to do that.
2) where do i get the latest alsa drivers ? how do i know if already got the drivers ??
thanks
