That's not what I meant. You're looking for a configuration file, and this configuration file is mentioned in the man page of modprobe.
see down here.
that is why i thought i need to to "alias-snd-card-0" kind of thing .
Well, once the module is loaded, the alias has no influence anymore. Thus if you load the proper modules with modprobe, and don't get any sound, the aliases won't help. Again, reading the man pages for modprobe and its configuration would have told you that.
Ok, i got it. it says "modprobe.conf" or all files under "/etc/modprobe.d" directory are a replacement for "/etc/modules.conf". then i added these to "/etc/modprobe.conf": alias char-major-116 snd alias char-major-14 soundcore alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1 alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss alias /dev/dsp snd-pcm-oss options snd cards_limit=1 then i did had a reboot and after that i tried this, as "root": "/etc/rc.d/alsa start". terminal said: "NO state is present for CARD V8237" then i did these 2 and i did not get any message: /etc/rc.d/alsa stop /etc/rc.d/alsa start then i tried to play the song using ogg123 and it HUNG :-(, same problem, it keeps on playing the 1st "1 sec" part of song for unlimited number of times, repeatedly.
any ideas on getting sound working ?
The following three steps have worked fine for me: 1. compile proper kernel (alternatively, add alsa-driver if you prefer to use those over the in-kernel ones) 2. reboot 3. set volume 4. enjoy music
that is for CRUX 2.2. in CRUX 2.3, this just does not work -- http://arnuld.blogspot.com/
