if the module is loaded you shoud see the card when doing a |
| 5 |
cat /proc/asound/cards |

I usually prefer the kernel method except there is brad new hardware so |
| 12 |
the external drivers are more recent than the kernel drivers. |

I guess the card is already occupied by an soundserver like arts (KDE) |
| 20 |
or esound (Gnome). |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
I'd try |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
artsshell -q terminate |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
starting xmms, setting my card in the preferences and see if it plays an |
| 27 |
audio file. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
You can also try |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
aplay -N -D plughw:1 yourwavfilegoeshere.wav |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
The N option makes it not waiting the device to get freed but reporting |
| 34 |
an error. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
If this doesn't help then maybe you want to consult the linux audio user |
| 37 |
list. |
