Iwan,
If you have ALSA installed and you can hear sound, you can use the
following commands to get more detailed info on your sound setup:
To see which rpms you have installed for ALSA:
/bin/rpm -qa |grep alsa |sort
To see which drivers/modules are currently in use:
/sbin/lsmod |grep snd
To see which version of ALSA is installed:
cat /proc/asound/version
The /proc/asound tree has much useful info about your sound devices.
To see which hardware ALSA devices are configured:
aplay -l
To see which devices and aliases you can use for sound:
aplay -L
You may need to configure ALSA OSS emulation if you are using a
capture device which needs it, otherwise, ensure your mixer settings
are suitable (can use alsamixer from the console) and give it a whirl.
HTH,
Nick
