Im a newb, no sound, of course... and I dont really know where to check.
PCI CS4281 (soundcore mod is loaded, cs4281 used by soundcore)
Debian Woody 3.0rev4 2.4.18-bf2 kernel
I have looked through my bootlogs etc and have found no errors pertaining to the soundcard
or anything for that matter other than:
Feb 28 13:11:36 beast modprobe: Note: /etc/modules.conf is more recent than /lib/modules/2.4.18-bf2.4/modules.dep
I rmmod cmpci that was installed at original isntall and went through modconf to put proper
module(cs4281) in.
I have restarted the sound server and rebooted but I think I'm still missing something.
Is there a sound adjuster for that needs raised(kinda like a windows tray item)?
Yes the speakers are plugged in and working fine(checked on a winbox) and the speaker sound is turned all the way up.
TIA
Bill

Sound/KDE CS4281
Are you sure that the correct driver is loaded? You can check it with a mixer application (aumix is my favorite; it is small and text-mode). If it starts, the soundcard _should_ work. If your mixer is started, you can check if the sound is not muted (it may sound odd, but I sucked this a few times).
If everything is fine, check if some application uses the sound card (as root):
fuser -v /dev/dsp
If there is any application, then you'll have no sound until it exits.
If you use KDE, you'll have to restart the sound system after you killed the app which used the sound card. Go to Control center->Sound and multimedia->Sound system to do it.

fuser -v /dev/dsp returned nothing as reg user or as root, I had to apt-get install aumix with libgp...
Once that was done as root I laucnhed aumix from a konsole and turned up recording volume and heard myself in the speakers,
so evidentally I have the right drivers etc installed, but I still do not hear sounds. I got during
my original install, an error about:
device /dev/dsp cant be opened(permission denied)
Server will continue using output null.
Is there a symlink someplace I must remove for snd server to stop outputting to /dev/null
and use /dev/dsp?
Thanks again for the help.

I effectively have sounds in kde now, but am still trying tog et sound off of a music cd while logegd ina s a reg user
My main problem right now is that mount will only let "root" mount /dev/cdrom...
I tried adding my user to cdrom group but it of course made no differnece(even after system restart)
Here is my fstab for the cdrom:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>

/dev/hda2 none swap sw 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/fd0 /floppy auto user,noauto 0 0

You don't need yo mount the audio CD in order to play it. Simply start a CD player app and listen.
If you entered a line in fstab, the regular user should be able to mount the CD-ROM, however, use this command:
