no. using CMI8738 onboard sound atm. redhat uses standart oss lite
kernel drivers which don't support the CMI8738 so i have to use ALSA.
no problem 'cause everyone will be using ALSA sooner or later...

well i dont have the cruz but the modules.conf entrys should be:


# ALSA portion
alias char-major-116 snd
alias snd-card-0 snd-cs46xx
# module options should go here

# OSS/Free portion
alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
	
# card #1
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss


for module options read
http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/template.php3?company=Turtle+Beach&card=Santa+Cruz&chip=CS4630&module=cs46xx#opt


after the drivers are installed run
$ amixer set Master 100
$ amixer set PCM 100 unmute
$ amixer set CD 100 unmute
# /usr/sbin/alsactl store

you can also use a mixer app like alsamixer.

you can then use
$ /usr/sbin/alsactl restore
to restore the alsa profile (stored in /etc/asound.state)


from what i've heard alsa's cruz drivers aren't bad so i hope you get
them to work...


bye
