[Alsa-user] fm801 does not produce any sound.....but the speakers are running

[Priyo <pr...@vs...>]

dear sir,
you ws absolutely right.i did nt instaled the alsa lib package.but i 
rectified myself after your suggestion and installed the alsa lib and then 
the alsa-util withought any error. even i was successful in unmuting from 
alsamixer.no i can hear my speakers on but as i try to play mp3 or midi files 
from xmms it says " soudncard not configured properly or some devices is 
blocking the sound acrd" what should i do??

a couple of things i noticed which may help you in diagonising the problem:

1. when i issue the command ./alsasound start nothing happens and the sound 
modules are not loaded. i have to issue the command" modprobe snd-card-fm801 
" and then when i type " ./alsasound status " i get a confirmation that the 
driver is loaded.

2. after modprobe my mixer goes to "mute" stage and i have to again unmute 
them.

3. in my control panel >information> sound i have the following entries" 

Sound Driver:3.8.1a-980706(ALSA v0.5.11 emulation code)
Kernel: 2.4.2-2
Config options: 0
installed drivers: ALSA emulation
Card Config: ForteMedia FM801 at 0xe800, irq 5
Audio device: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG
Synth Device: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG
Midi device: 7: system timer
Mixers: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG

4. when i type aumixer in console i get the following error 
"Can not open mixer"

5. in my modules.conf i have the following entries:

"  alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
alias char-major-81 bttv
alias usb-controller usb-uhci

alias snd_dac_frame_size  - max dac1 (playback) frame size in kB (4-128kB)
alias snd_adc_frame_size  - max adc (record) frame size in kB (4-128kB)

"

please suggest me a remedy....

Warm Regards,
priyo
