Hi,
I have an HP 7965 desktop dual-booting between XP and RH Linux 8.0.
The standard installation did not get the sound card working, and
every time I tried to use XMMS, an error message would pop up saying
that the sound card could not be contacted.
I installed the ALSA driver, library, and utilities as per the
instructions at
http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/template.php3?company=Analog%2…
and then used insmod to load them, also as per the instructions at
that page.
Now xmms and the system seem to recognize the module and the sound
card-I don't get any error messages-but I don't get any sound. I
used alsamixer to unmute the system, but I still get nothing. It
works fine in XP, so I don't know what the problem would be. Here is
the relevant output from vi /proc/ioports:

Thanks for any help you might have.
