Dear All,
I finally discovered why my sound is never quite as it should be. For
anyone who has the same problem, this may help.
Symptoms included:
Volume set to zero on boot
MIDI not working (no /dev/sequencer)
Service alsa start/service sound start conflicting/failing.
Suspend-resume leaving sound dead.
The correct driver is the snd-cs46xx, but in some places, Mandrake uses
the cs46xx driver, with the result that the wrong modules are sometimes
loaded.
The fix is to edit /etc/modules.conf and change this line:
alias sound-slot-0 cs46xx
to this one:
alias sound-slot-0 snd-cs46xx
and then reboot.
