Sound problem on nForce2 board


Hello,

any help appreciated. I posted a question some days ago (see this thread ) but since then, my sound problem turned from bad to worse: now I don't have any sound at all in Mandrake 10 CE, not even in Unreal, Frozen Bubble or Totem (the only programs that had sound). So I decided to play a bit with modules.conf, since I read somewhere that's the place to be for configuring sound (yes I'm fairly n00b...)

This was my modules.conf:

-------------------
probeall scsi_hostadapter imm ppa
probeall usb-interface usb-ohci ehci-hcd
above snd-intel8x0 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-slot-0 snd-intel8x0
above snd-emu10k1 snd-pcm-oss
------------------------------

And this is my present modules.conf (I simply deleted it -- after backing up -- and let Mandrake generate a new one)

-------------------
above snd-intel8x0 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-slot-0 snd-intel8x0
------------------

This is the point at which I don't have any sound at all.


So, what I did was following Mandrake's advice, i.e. typing some commands in the console:



------------------
[tijs@localhost tijs]$ lspcidrake -v | fgrep AUDIO
snd-intel8x0 : Nvidia Corporation|nForce2 Audio Codec Interface [MULTIMEDIA_AUDIO] (vendor:10de device:006a subv:1695 subd:1001)
[tijs@localhost tijs]$ grep sound-slot /etc/modules.conf
alias sound-slot-0 snd-intel8x0
[tijs@localhost tijs]$ /sbin/lsmod

-------------------------

The last command, i.e. "/sbin/fuser -v /dev/dsp" gave no results, so my sound card is not using any program?

Note: "aan" and "uit" are Dutch for "on" and "off".

Anyway, I hope someone with some experience can give some advice. I love MDK 10 and managed to play encrypted DVD's, but without sound I can't live
