Hi, I’m trying to get an FM801 to work on FC3. It didn't work on FC1 in this system and I was hoping that an upgrade to FC3 would get it going. I have seen a web page about the FM801 but I’m stuck getting it to make any sound.   lspci shows ~(among other things...)   00:12.0 Multimedia audio controller: Fortemedia, Inc Xwave QS3000A [FM801] (rev b2)   lsmod shows (among other things)...   snd_seq_midi           12769  0 snd_seq_midi_event     11713  1 snd_seq_midi snd_opl3_synth         19269  0 snd_seq_instr          12097  1 snd_opl3_synth snd_seq_midi_emul      11201  1 snd_opl3_synth snd_ainstr_fm           6465  1 snd_opl3_synth snd_seq                54609  5 snd_seq_midi,snd_seq_midi_event,snd_opl3_synth,snd_seq_instr,snd_seq_midi_em ul fm801_gp                7745  0 gameport               19785  2 fm801_gp snd_fm801              21765  2 snd_tea575x_tuner       7873  1 snd_fm801 videodev               13505  1 snd_tea575x_tuner snd_ac97_codec         77497  1 snd_fm801 snd_pcm_oss            53745  0 snd_mixer_oss          21697  2 snd_pcm_oss snd_pcm                91845  3 snd_fm801,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss snd_page_alloc         13765  1 snd_pcm snd_opl3_lib           14401  2 snd_opl3_synth,snd_fm801 snd_timer              28357  3 snd_seq,snd_pcm,snd_opl3_lib snd_hwdep              12897  1 snd_opl3_lib snd_mpu401_uart        11457  1 snd_fm801 snd_rawmidi            28641  2 snd_seq_midi,snd_mpu401_uart snd_seq_device         12493  5 snd_seq_midi,snd_opl3_synth,snd_seq,snd_opl3_lib,snd_rawmidi snd                    58405  15 snd_opl3_synth,snd_seq,snd_fm801,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,sn d_pcm,snd_opl3_lib,snd_timer,snd_hwdep,snd_mpu401_uart,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq_d evice soundcore              13217  2 snd     So I guess that means the system has found the hardware and the drivers are loading.   I have unmuted and maxed out all the faders in alsamixer. I can hear a slight tick in the output when I mute and unmute the mic channel and some of the other channels so there is some sign of life.   But I cant get the thing to play any sound files.   aplay bigfile.wav results in silence. The Gnome sound tester does not play a sound file. Audacity crashes on playing a file. So something is not right. I noticed some *oss modules loaded is that good or bad?   Is there something I need to do to tell applications to direct their sound to this device???   A direct copy of a wav file to /dev/dsp, which I think should make a noise, doesn’t. Or is there another way to copy data directly to the device as a test.   I know sound works in Linux because I have another system with an SBLive that works. (Sorry that just reflects my frustration with getting this working) So what have I missed???? Does any one here have an FM801 based card working with FC3 who can offer me some guidance…   Any help most welcome..     Ken         -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
