Still No Sound: But Internet is good!

[Timothy Wagner]

Ladies and Gentlemen!

In the past I've had some issues with the internet. I'm no longer having 
that problem! I had bought a D-Link DWL-520. I later learned that I 
bought the "special" card with the flashable firmware. I wasn't too sure 
why they still continued to call this *firm*ware seeing that it was lost 
every time the card loses power. So, due to extreme frustration and lack 
of a decent driver I brought it back and bought a Belkin 802.11g wi-fi 
PCI card (Model #:F5D7000). This is truly a wonderful card! The setup 
was easier than I could have ever hoped! After some initial googling I 
was pointed to LinuxAnt.com which I found to be a really neat website 
with great software. They offer a NDIS driver wrapper. It allows the 
user to utilize the windows driver that the card was shipped with on 
their Linux OS. I then realized that it was $20 to buy the license 
forever to use it so I ditched that and found a great alternate 
solution. I found the program ndiswrapper off of sourceforge 
(http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/). This is the open source 
alternative to LinuxAnt's software. It worked great. It was a simple 
install that included a clear and simple README for installing. Now, my 
internet is finally up and running great. I highly recommend ndis 
wrapper to be used with wi-fi pci cards. It has support for many 
different chipsets.

I still have this darn sound issue. When I installed Fedora Core 2, it 
had brought me through the setup screens right before I logged into KDE. 
These were the setup screens for things like sound, time, etc. In the 
soundcard configuration screen, I played the sound and everything went 
great. I finished up the setup and logged into KDE. I tried playing a CD 
and found there was no sound. Then, I played the test sound using the 
soundcard config program and also got nothing. I checked my volume 
controls, and I had unmuted everything and cranked all volume levels up. 
My modprobe.conf file is as follows:

*alias eth0 3c59x
alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1
alias usb-controller uhci-hcd
alias wlan0 ndiswrapper

*I've also run lsmod, and it seems all of the correct modules are 
loaded. My lsmod is as follows:

*I have also installed the latest alsa driver (ver. 1.0.5a). /I think 
thats the latest driver. /I have tried everything I can think of and 
google is no longer one with the force. My soundcard is a Sound Blaster 
Audigy Gamer. Has anyone had this problem similar to mine? Can anyone 
help me out? I'd love to listen to CDs again! Thanks guys!
