Bruce,

You should:
<br>
<br>
1) Tell us about your hardware. (PC, sound card, etc.)

Here is <tt>modules.conf </tt>as of yesterday, when I ran the <tt>alsaconf</tt>
script:<br>
<br>

Note that the previous file, which I believe I created with <tt>alsaconf</tt>
last December, contained the same content, plus the following lines at
the end:<br>
<br>
<font color="#333399"><tt>alias sound-slot-0 via82cxxx_audio<br>
post-install sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L

pre-remove sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -S
>/dev/null 2>&1 || :<br>
</tt></font><br>
This appears to have been left over from my pre-alsa <tt>modules.conf</tt>,
although I don't know why it survived the first use of <tt>alsaconf</tt>
but not the second.<br>

Sorry, I don't know what you're looking for, so I'm just dumping the
