Under Fedora Core4, I've installed the drivers supplied by Nvidia for the network and audio built into the mobo. This did require a kernel re-link. The network is doing fine and I've burned data CD's, so I know the system sees the drive.

When I log on as a general user there is a message that no sound card found. This is correct as (AFAIK) it is built into the mobo.

I've edited modprobe.conf per Nvidia's instructions, and it is included below. When I put a music CD in the drive CD Player will recognize the disk (works VERY slowly) and show the songs on the disk. When I click the "play" button it switches rapidly from the right-pointing triangle to the "||" sign and back to the triangle, and no music plays.

I suspect I've simply not quite config's stuff correctly yet - is there any simple test that will produce a test sound?

Thanks!

modprobe.conf:

alias scsi_hostadapter sata_nv
alias usb-controller ehci-hcd
alias usb-controller1 ohci-hcd
alias ieee1394-controller ohci1394
#alias eth0 forcedeth
alias forcedeth off
alias eth0 nvnet
alias snd-card-0 nvsound
alias snd-intel8x0 off
alias i810_audio off

options snd-card-0 index=0
options nvsound index=0
remove nvsound { /usr/sbin/alsactl store 0 >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove nvsound
alias eth1 3c59x

Have you executed alsaconfig, it adds the modprobe.conf setup? and then alsamixer to set the volume from the default 0 (both under root).
