Arnuld,
i see that i need to put my configurations (like alias snd-card-0) in a file.
I can't remember having to do that to get sound working...
see down here.
now i don't see any "/etc/conf.modules" or "/etc/modules.conf" as advised by ALSA-Project"
Those files were used by modutils with linux kernel 2.4. Kernel 2.6 (and thus any CRUX release since 2.0) uses module-init-tools, so the ALSA howto seems to have been written for older kernels.
NO, just yesterday, i used Gentoo, with kernel 2.6.20, where one *has* to write that "snd-card-0" kind of things to get sound working. even latest Fedora Core 6 have those files hidden in the system.
Here's a hint which should help you to find the answer to the question yourself. Both howto's mention 'modprobe' to load modules, which comes with a fine man page.
i know that and i have loaded the module using that but that does not work. that is why i thought i need to to "alias-snd-card-0" kind of thing . any ideas on getting sound working ? -- http://arnuld.blogspot.com/
