[linux-audio-user] Intel 82801BA Sound

[bwc2001 at columbia.edu]

The channel faders up, both on alsamixer and the RH volume control
panel. The speakers do work on the evil side, and I was also trying
it with headphones, but I guess I won't do that anymore. aplay
didn't play any sound, but it indicated that the file was playing at
4410 hz in stereo and didn't give any error messages. 

using: modprobe snd-intel8x0;modprobe snd-pcm-oss;modprobe
snd-mixer-oss;modprobe snd-seq-oss


I get this output from lsmod:

Is something wrong here? 

Thanks for the help
