i am running a dell inspiron with the following sound card
Code:
00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corp. 82801DB (ICH4) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 02)
   Subsystem: Dell Computer Corporation: Unknown device 0149
   Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B-
   Status: Cap+ 66Mhz- UDF- FastB2B+ ParErr- DEVSEL=medium >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR-
   Latency: 0
   Interrupt: pin B routed to IRQ 11
   Region 0: I/O ports at b800 [size=256]
   Region 1: I/O ports at bc40 [size=64]
   Region 2: Memory at f4fff800 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=512]
   Region 3: Memory at f4fff400 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=256]
   Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2
      Flags: PMEClk- DSI- D1- D2- AuxCurrent=375mA PME(D0+,D1-,D2-,D3hot+,D3cold+)
      Status: D0 PME-Enable- DSel=0 DScale=0 PME-


i followed the alsa documention to a t about the intel 8x0 module, yet i still get no sound at all. even after unmuteing the master and pcm channels. i have tryed the 0.9.8 and the 1.0.3 versions. and on a side note would alsa allow me to run two programs that accses the sound card at once cause as it stands right now i can only have one program at a time do this otherwise i get a no sound or sound device busy error?

Can you successfully change the volume or PCM settings by way of the X volume gui(I use the GNOME app)? If so, then alsa is configured correctly.

What is the output of an "lsmod"?

edit: fixed part one of my sound problem. it thought i was sending audio to a external source so all i had to do is mute my audio out. the second part is that i cannont get more then one sound program to accses the sound device at one time. i would like to have this so i can hear notify beeps from a irc program while i am lisiting to music.
