Ok,
So my goal is to have 2 working cards.
My first card was working great using the audio on my
motherboard(c-media).
My 2nd card video was working, but I needed to config the audio.
For a second audio card I am using an Aureal Vortex2 from an old dell
system.
I found alsla drivers and downloaded them and let them install them at
will. I couldnt get alsamixer running so I went in and executed
./snddevices inside the alsa driver tar directory. This allowed me to
start alsamixer and raise the volume levels of everything.
The execution also moved around my /dev/dsp and linked it to /dev/dsp0.
Fine. I adjusted my main myth card to point to /dev/dsp0.
I still dont get any audio, nor do I see my onboard snd as working any
more. I am thoroughly confused.
Also, I am not sure if my modules.conf file is correct. Alsa loaded some
settings but I think that it assumed no other sound was present.
Here is some info:

Does anyone have a clue? How do I get my motherboard audio to work
again? With 2 sound devices, I should have something for /dev/dsp0 and
/dev/dsp1 right?
Thanks
Bruce
