sound problems continued

[Christian Williamson]

well I think were making some progress here, which is awesome.

cerebrix at ubuntu:~ $ ps ax | grep [u]devd
  364 ?        S<s    0:00 udevd

now as soon as i use the tail command i notice:

Nov 19 12:46:30 localhost kernel: cx8800[0]: AUD_STATUS: 0x1372 [mono/no
pilot] ctl=BTSC_AUTO_STEREO
Nov 19 12:46:33 localhost kernel: cx8800[0]: AUD_STATUS: 0x1332 [mono/no
pilot] ctl=BTSC_AUTO_STEREO
Nov 19 12:46:36 localhost kernel: cx8800[0]: AUD_STATUS: 0x12f2 [mono/no
pilot] ctl=BTSC_AUTO_STEREO

the above error gets spammed over and over and over.  if i reload the
module as you suggested i finally hear a small pop from my speakers
which tells me the soundcard did in fact just try to do something.  once
i heard that the above cx8800 kept spamming itself in the logfile but
dispite that i tried to play sound anyway.  it did not play sound.  is
it possible that the cx8800 thing is blocking it somehow?  i dont even
know what that module is for.

thanks everyone,

Christian
