Sound problems on ThinkPad 600x

[Brian Mueller]

ok guys,

I have an IBM ThinkPad 600X. Sound in Red Hat Linux
9.0 worked fine, but not in Fedora Core 4. The sound
chip is a Crystal Semiconductor CS4614. Running
"Soundcard Detection" from the default GNOME menu
detects the chip just fine, but clicking Play Test
Sound yields only silence. 

Typing aplay at the command line returns the
following:

[begin quote]
ALSA lib conf.c:1578:(snd_config_load1)
_toplevel_:51:23:No such file or directory
ALSA lib conf.c:2821:(snd_config_hook_load)
/etc/alsa/cards/aliases.conf may be old or corrupted:
consider to remove or fix it
ALSA lib conf.c:2684:(snd_config_hooks_call) function
snd_config_hook_load returned error: No such file or
directory
ALSA lib pcm.c:1959:(snd_pcm_open_conf) Invalid type
for PCM default definition (id: default, value:
cards.pcm.default)
aplay: main:508: audio open error: Invalid argument
[end quote]

Any ideas??? :-/ btw it works fine in Windows as
well...

I tried modifying modprobe.conf as directed at the
alsa-project.org site, to no avail. Same result. Also
tried chmod a+rw on /dev/dsp, /dev/sequencer, and
/dev/mixer.

There is no alsaconf on Fedora Core 4 apparently, at
least not by default, so I found an RPM for it and ran
that, its modifications of modprobe.conf didn't change
anything, so I removed them.

One more thing: after running aplay, and exiting Xorg,
standard output has the comment "ALSA device "default"
had an error". So that might have something to do with
it as well.

Please help!
