[Alsa-user] C-media on board audio

[Bob v. d. P. <bo...@me...>]

Just installed a new motherboard in my computer. Asus M2N-SLI. Seems to 
be working fine, but have a few audio issues.

The board has a "C-Media Superior Quality Audio 7.1 channel CODEC" chip 
with 6 outputs on the back; plus a S/PDIF out interface.

So, it is partially working. I'm running Ubuntu Fiesty and KDE.

Several programs work fine: I run amarok for playing audio streams and 
that is fine. If I stop amarok, I can edit and play audio with audacity.

But, I can't get a alsamixer to work:

    bob$ alsamixer
    No mixer elems found

nor does aplay work:

  bob$ aplay -l
  **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
  card 1: default [PnP Audio Device        ], device 0: USB Audio [USB 
Audio]
   Subdevices: 1/1
   Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

  bob$ aplay mix.wav
  aplay: main:550: audio open error: No such file or directory

And to top it all off, I can't play flash audio either. No audio on 
youtube videos :) But, I was sure it was working yesterday.

So, since the card is being found, and working, I'm assuming some minor 
config issues. If we can get this sorted out, I'll next ask if using the 
S/PDIF out is possible.

Thanks!
