there is some problems that i am facing during my installation of
soundMAX on Fedora Core-up(2.4.22.1.2115.nptl)
(1)i suppose the modules states in /etc/modules.conf should be
automatically loaded during the startup. however, i didn't found any
foot steps of the loaded modules either from /proc/modules or dmesg.
by looking at /proc/asound/cards, it complains no such file or
directory.

(2)ok. i just ignore the problem 1 at this moment. i modprobe

i use gnome-volume-control to do volume control. strange things happen
here, when i open /usr/bin/redhat-config-soundcard, i will display the
Vendor: Intel Corp.
Model: 82801EB AC'97 Audio Controller
Module: i810_audio (i suppose the module is snd-intel8x0 according to
alsaconf ):
ok, i click "test sound". strange thing happen here, it will pop out
an error message saying that
"The i810_audio driver could not be loaded. This soundcard may not be
compatible with Red Hat Linux." i click ok, a beautiful sound come
out!!! :O :O :O
i check the /proc/modules, still snd-intel8x0 modules loaded,
1810_audio not loaded.

(3)i try to test again with gnome-cd and xmms with audio cd, no sound
this time :(
i confirm the volume control is already up and not muted. snd-intel8x0
modules is loaded. just that the application still keep want to use
i810_audio (i suspect). no new message from /var/log/messages. i just
wondering how can i force the application to use snd-intel8x0?
i use the applications to play WAV file store in /usr/share/sounds,
they works! only other type of media files like audio cd, mp3 dun work
:(
(4)i also encounter once i run the redhat-config-soundcard, the
following line of information will dump into the end of
/etc/modules.conf
alias sound-slot-0 i810_audio
post-install sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L
>/dev/null 2>&1 || :
pre-remove sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -S
>/dev/null 2>&1 || :
i dun wan those line since i810_audio not compataible with my hardware
although they are automatically detected.
how can i solve the problem (1) (2) (3) (4).
thank you very much!
regards
yan cheng
