Soundcard isn't working properly

[syst3m]

Can anybody here give me a pointer for how do i make Cirrus Logic - Crystal CS4281 soundcard on FC1?

Kudzu did recognized it and installed it automatically (like everything was in place and ready to go), but sound isn't coming out.

I checked the ALSA site for tutorials but i got no success in installing it.

I'm running Fedora Core 1 (just installed).

Thanks in advance.

I forgot to say that

It works okay if logged in as 'root'
Just "acts" as being okay (sound doesn't come out) if logged in as normal user

Thanks again

alright
the problem sounds like permissions
test this out as root:

chmod a+rw /dev/dsp /dev/mixer /dev/sequencer /dev/midi

[syst3m]

I did it but it didn't work. I tried to use chmod a+rw /dev/dsp /dev/mixer /dev/sequencer, but the problem is still not solved.

Here are the outputs:

# chmod a+rw /dev/dsp /dev/mixer /dev/sequencer /dev/midi
chmod: falha ao obter atributos de `/dev/midi': Arquivo ou diretório não encontrado
# chmod a+rw /dev/dsp /dev/mixer /dev/sequencer
#

[i'm using PT-BR language... so i'll try to translate it]

# chmod a+rw /dev/dsp /dev/mixer /dev/sequencer /dev/midi
chmod: error in obtaining atributes for `/dev/midi': File or directory not found
# chmod a+rw /dev/dsp /dev/mixer /dev/sequencer
#

I used this:
http://freshrpms.net/docs/alsa/
to get this chipset working on my friend's computer

[foolish]

Which ALSA guide was that? Did you try mine: http://foolish.fedorausers.org/alsa/

Let us know just what failed in the ALSA installation, and I'll try to help.

[syst3m]

I don't exactly know what went wrong. Apparently it just didn't work.

But now everything is okay.
I reinstalled fedora and auto-conf just gave it a way somehow.
I think my older soundcards were conflicting with the new one.

Thanks
