As evidenced by ?
Uh, as evidenced by lsmod? I'm not a newbie if that's what you're implying.

I'm not sure which mod the awe needs, but check lsmod |grep snd
Maybe
fpaste.org your alsa-info results for others to check
The AWE 64 cards use snd-sbawe module, which can be easily checked on
http://www.alsa-project.org/'s sound card matrix.
I have no idea what you mean by
fpaste.org, but alsa-info does seem like
a good idea in this case; however it also unfortunately seems a little
useless since it reveals a great deal of output, but I can't copy and
paste any of it into this post, and the final message upon exiting the
program says:
Your ALSA information is located at
Please inform the person helping you.
So, uh, LOCATED AT big blank? Gee, thanks, stupid diagnostic program.

In gnome-volume-control I see Device entries for eg:
CA0106 alsa
Nvidia nforce2 alsa
mixer oss
playback CA PA
playback NF PA
capture CA PA
capture NF PA
capture-monitor CA PA
capture-monitor NF PA
and I need to change the device to control the appropriate card.
Did you try alsamxixer, and alsaunmute ?
DaveT.
I am aware that you need to change the device to the appropriate card in
the GNOME mixer. The Hollywood+ card is the only option available.
