i have found a solution to the problem. there is some problem with the latest alsa 1.0.8 & snd-intel8x0. the latest also is also in the latest kernel 2.6.11
to get the sound, you need to mute your headphone jack sense in alsamixer & then you can play anything you want.
i hope this helps & it gets fixed permanently!
take care, Stanislav
]]>now this card works flawlessly, albeit in a desktop
]]>the weird things is that i get no error messages during booting with 2.6.11 . and music players seem to play music, but i can't hear anything. it's such a mystery. so i will wait to see if anything will change or if someone have a solution.
take care, Stanislav
]]>-nvidia compiled successfully
-snd-intel8x0 compiled in and never had any problem(10 modules dependent from each other is a pain and somewhat ridiculous, that's too much of an instable plastic cube tower)
cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp
if you here some talkie-walkie noise your sound is working.
]]>alsamixer
to check if your volumes are right and not muted.
]]>For ex I would compile pcmcia as module but not the soundcard driver for it needs a lot of dependencies(10 modules !!!!).
Why? with your reckoning of compiling everything that's removable as a module and anything not so removable leave compiled in the kernel why would you want to compile pcmcia support as a module?

Your sound card is in your computer, eh ? You do not remove it everyday from your computer, eh ? Then WHY do you compile that as a module ????? :twisted:
If you want to avoid lots of problems, stop compiling as module what you use everyday and cannot be removed from your computer.:idea:
For ex I would compile pcmcia as module but not the soundcard driver for it needs a lot of dependencies(10 modules !!!!).
Here is the way to fix your problem : build your module inside the kernel !!!
Alsa==>PCI==> Intel
and here is the way to configure alsa :
pacman -S alsa-utils amixer set Master unmute amixer set PCM unmute alsamixer alsactl store echo "alsactl restore" >> /etc/rc.local
Firstly dude. The standard arch kernel has it as a module because not everyone has this card.
Second dude. People put it as a module because occassionally programs crash, and sometimes if they were using the soundcard, it's locked up requiring a reboot. Removing and reloading the module fixes this.
Besides, whats the problem with it having lots of dependencies when used as a module? If you compile the driver into the kernel, the deps are compiled in. If you load the driver with modprobe, it autoloads the deps. The deps arent a problem
