Hello,
I need some help making my sound card work with Linux (debian, Sarge).
I read the Linux HOWTO (
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Sound-HOWTO/x320.html) but I am still unable to make the card work.
My sound card is an on mother-board type of card. Intel 810 +Ac97 Audio version 1.01.
Apparently the drivers are in my kernel .
jlp1976@home1deb:/lib/modules/2.4.27-2-386/kernel/drivers/sound$ ls -l
total 1380
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 18884 2005-05-16 08:38 ac97_codec.o
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5696 2005-05-16 08:38 ac97.o

jlp1976@home1deb:~$ ls -l /dev/dsp

Below is a portion of the output from "dmseg"
Intel 810 + AC97 Audio, version 1.01, 16:51:32 May 16 2005
PCI: Setting latency timer of device 00:1f.5 to 64

The last thing in the how to is to test the set up
% cat endoftheworld >/dev/dsp
% cat crash.au >/dev/audio
I used an mp3 file. but it didn't work From what I read in the HOWTO, I should be all set. But I still get no sound whatsoever???
Can anybody help me.
Much thanks
