I'm trying to configure sound for a computer, and am pretty sure that it has a ViBRA16C onboard sound card. At least, Knoppix detected it as a ViBRA16C.

This card is supposed to be supported by Alsa:
Soundblaster Vibra16C

However, I can't seem to get it working:
Code:
ayumu root # /etc/init.d/alsasound start
 * Loading ALSA drivers...
 * Using ALSA OSS emulation
 * Loading: snd-mixer-oss
WARNING: Error inserting snd (/lib/modules/2.6.8-gentoo-r3/kernel/sound/core/snd

eq/snd-seq.ko): Device or resource busy
 * Running card-dependent scripts
 * Restoring Mixer Levels
 * No mixer config in /etc/asound.state, you have to unmute your card!    [ ok ]

After this, the following modules are loaded anyways:
Code:
ayumu root # lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by
snd_sb16               11372  0
snd_opl3_lib            8576  1 snd_sb16
snd_hwdep               7140  1 snd_opl3_lib
snd_sb16_dsp            9152  1 snd_sb16
snd_sb_common          13984  2 snd_sb16,snd_sb16_dsp
snd_mpu401_uart         6176  0
snd_rawmidi            20580  0
snd_seq_midi_event      6496  0
snd_seq_device          6600  0
snd_pcm_oss            47752  0
snd_pcm                84612  0
snd_page_alloc          8744  0
snd_timer              22180  0
snd_mixer_oss          16288  0

However, I can't do much in regards to the sound:
Code:
ayumu root # alsamixer

alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory
ayumu root # amixer   

amixer: Mixer attach default error: No such file or directory

ayumu sounds # aplay cv_powerup.wav
aplay: main:507: audio open error: No such file or directory


/dev/dsp does seem to exist now, however. Hm.

Does anyone know anything about this onboard card? I think that I may have an extra PCI sound card in my basement somewhere... but I'd rather get this onboard card working instead of fishing through my basement.
