also my /etc/modprobe.conf is empy

so what should i do to make my soundcard to work

> Card: Brooketree Bt878

if you have such a card besides your (onbaord?) i8x0 (? CHx/model), the later will get another resource/device. so the mixer of the second card will be the second alsamixer. same with pcm - alsa's second pcm, ...

sl mritch.

finaly I've solved the problem
sound card war properly installed but ....

but sound card 0 was the tv tuner
and the real sound card war installed as second
stupid isn't it
so when i was running alsamixer (default card 0) i could't change my volumes

the answer :
alsamixer -c 1
or in x mode rightclick on taskbar , add applet ,sound mixer

where should i apend line :
"modprobe snd-intel8x0"
this will install my sound card

ps offtopic
what about line
rmmod usbmouse

to make it permanent? /etc/modules (on debian)

sl mritch.

i solved this problem but not permanently
after every loghin my alsamixer si reset ( sound off all)
so i've to raise my volumes every time

so.. what shoul i do to make my volumes sets penmanently


also when i give alsamixer and give ctrl+/ in window
-----( / from right on numLock)
apears listed /proc/asound/cards/ like
card 0- tv tuner
card 1- real soundcard
i suppose i have to switch this 2
or probably to modify a config file to load alsamixer for my sound card at startup


any advice will be welcomed

if i'm right your

try changing order first. this can be done with your alsa configuration.

there should be a mixer program with alsa, saving your current mixer settings into a file at shutdown and reload it on bootup. if there is none such - consider using setmixer and other programs that can do this or simple put a line to set the mixer in a suitable bootupscript.
example "/usr/bin/rexima vol 100 -d /dev/mixer1"
