Hi Pithball,

> Your /etc/modprobe.conf doesn't look right. Try this:

Ok, I tried your lines, this time in /etc/modprobe.conf
and /etc/modprobe.d/sound is non-existing.

Yes, /etc/init.d/alsasound is there, with exactly those permissions.

Now, I reboot my machine.
After reboot, alsamixer still shows PCM/Front/Line/Mic/IEC958/Input
So/Input So. Thus, no master volume, no external amplifier.
Nothing muted, all volumes to 100.

aplay -D plughw:0,0 or 0,2 /usr/share/sounds/info.wav seems to play, but I
do not hear anything. Same without -D.
(It just says Playing WAVE... no errors)

Back to your routine:

[root at localhost ~]# /sbin/service alsasound stop
Shutting down sound driver: done

[root at localhost ~]# lsmod | grep snd
snd_page_alloc         11272  0

[root at localhost ~]# /sbin/service alsasound start
Starting sound driver: snd-hda-intel done

[root at localhost ~]# lsmod | grep snd
snd_hda_intel     19732    0
snd_hda_codec    163840    1 snd_hda_intel
snd_pcm         86276    2 snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec
snd_timer     25604    1 snd_pcm
snd_snd         63884    4 snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec,snd_pcm,snd_timer
soundcore     10017    1 snd
snd_page_alloc     11272    2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm

Testing with aplay again.
Nothing, also not with headphones in my headphone or line-out plug.

> /bin/alsaunmute 0

Ok. What I can see is this sets PCM volume to 75, Front to 74. It mutes
Mic.
Testing with aplay... everything still the same.

Let's try system-config-soundcard again, to generate a new
/root/scsound.log file. Here it is:

[root at localhost ~]# cat scsound.log
