snd-intel8x0 problem

        options                  dev=dmixer
}

mplayer says: Could no open/initialize audio device -> no sound.

[flyer@athlon ~]$ mpc play
Athlete - It's Not Your Fault
[playing] #5/1131   3:42/4:18 (86%)
volume:100%   repeat: off   random: off
[flyer@athlon ~]$

But still no sound. Is there something wrong with the module? Everything worked fine before editing asound.conf and libao.conf. Deleting them doesn't help. Maybe there's something wrong with the mplayer too, because it's always muted after the start.

Re: snd-intel8x0 problem

I do none of these settings actually... I too have nForce chipset but prefer snd-intel8x0 instead.. It works fine for me.. As far as I know, you're not aloud to use forcedeth and snd-intel8x0 drivers at the same time.

umm, forcedeth is an ethernet driver...snd-intel8x0 is a sound driver. I use both, having an nforce 4 mobo.

Try using sudo alsamixer and unmute everything.
