Re: [Sound] please help a linux newbie

[Steven Rubenstein <rubensteintrans@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm not the expert, but off the bat
1) I don't understand:  You "don't" get sound, but you "can" play CD's?
2) When you installed alsa, did you do a "make" between each "configure" 
and "make install"?  Last time I checked, their directions fail to 
mention the make step.

Yes it works on windows just fine, but on linux I cant get any sounds.  It DOES in fact play audio cd's on linux though.   I've also tried using sndconfig but it says that my soundcard is not supported by it.  I later tried installing the alsa drivers/libraries/utilities following the directions on their website in accordance to the cs4610 instructions but I kept getting errors.   According to the hardware browser, this is my output....
