No sound after 4.0.1 upgrade

[Dean Loros]

Hello---

Sound is a VERY spotty issue in 4.0/4.01--there have been many posts 
about it--you can look back thru the last couple of months for more 
info---I enclose the post that answered some of the problems for me---I 
still wait for a full cure---

My thanks for this answer, but can't remember who posted it----

Your /etc/modprobe.conf file should contain:

# ALSA portion
alias char-major-116-* snd
alias snd-card-0 snd-powermac

# OSS/Free portion
alias char-major-14* soundcore
alias sound-slot-0 snd-powermac

# OSS compatibility alias
alias sound-service-*-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-*-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-*-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-*-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-*-12 snd-pcm-oss

install snd-card-0 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-card-0 && 
{/usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || :; }
remove snd-card-0 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || :; 
};/sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-card-0

install sound-slot-0 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install sound-slot-0 && 
{/bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L >/dev/null 2>&1 || :; }
remove sound-slot-0 { /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -S 
 >>/dev/null2>&1 || :; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove sound-slot-0


Note that the "install" and "remove" lines are each one long line, some 
Email programs might chop them---

Luck to you---
