ALSA installation problem

no you will not learn anything if you just reinstll all the time - plus it is very time comsuming not to mention boring.
delete other modules.conf by:

first copy the file to a safe place:

cp filename /home/you/yourplace

rm -rf nameof_bogus_files [make sure you leave the original]

~EDITING
are you using the correct vi commands -
1) open the file = vi filename
2) press i for insert mode
3) paste info
4) press w to save the changes
5) press q to close the file

it is really worth creating a bunch of text documents sometime to fool around editing them with vi - just to get used to it.

vi filename goes fine i get the swp notification and choose edit. i, paste - no problem. but when i press w - nothing happens! same for q!
why?

ahh SORRY...
press Esc
then :
then w

heh heh oops

Esc to break from the mode your in
then
:wq will work also

unfortunately i did that, too - no reaction...
i tried shift+w - crated a message 'recording' and nothing else. tried q or shif+q...nope.

sorry it was my stupid error - got it written now
sitll no sound, though
do i have to add lines for native devices too?

remember to unmute the devices - pick up on the instructions again - I will be offline for awhile.

no you do not have to add lines for native devices too.
let me know how it goes
