well almost ..

first i am using a 2.4.2x Kernel, Alsa drivers load without any error

my TV Tuner Card (BT878) wich is connected through a external Loop cable to the line-in of my opl3-sa2 sound card works fine, i can adjust volume wirh alsamixer etc.

but thats it .. any other way i try to play sound fails .. no error messages, just no sound

xmms for examples just doesn't start to play .. some tries as root with esdcat produced an "device busy" thats the only thing near to an error message i had so far ..

Did you follow the Alsa setup guide on http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/alsa-guide.xml? I had similar problems at first, until I redid everything step by step.

yes i think so ..

rebuilding kernel with no sound module other than "support for sound"

rebuilding alsa-driver
rebuilding some more alsa packages

still no sound beside that from my TV-Tuner-card

yes i did

as i said, there is no problem while using an external sound source (i.e. TV Tuner) i can adjust volume as i like .. i just can' t get the system to play any other sound ..
