Hello,
I was about to post my problem until I noticed this, which is very similar to mine, so I figured maybe the smart ones can help both of us at the same time :)
I have a MSI nForce 2 Chipset mobo with onboard sound (its the K7N2 Delta). I'm also trying to use the coaxial output to get sound. Note: The coaxial output was added using the "S-Bracket" which did not come with the motherboard but I had left over from a previous MSI K-line motherboard. I installed it as according to the mobo's instructions. My distro is Red Hat 9.
What I've tried:
-It does auto detect something for sound:
Model: nForce2 AC97 Audio Controler
Module: i810_audio
But the test sound doens't work and I'm obviously not getting sound elsewhere.
-Updating the nForce Drivers. Followed the instructions, but didnt help any. In fact, it didnt do any "noticeable" changes at all, so I'm not entirely sure if it worked. Anyone know how to check that?
-Attempted the ALSA installation. I've done this twice now, and I think i finally isolated why it isn't working. I can't believe i missed it the first time around. While adding the modules to the kernel, it gives me the error message:
.../sound/pci/snd-intel8x0.o: init_module: no such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorret module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters
you may find more infromation in syslog or the output from dmesg
So I did as they said, and checked dmesg. In there, I found:

So apparantly I don't have a intel soundcard that is being detected (but isn't that what i810_audio is?). Which explains why the commands:
modprobe snd-intel8x0;modprobe snd-pcm-oss;modprobe snd-mixer-oss;modprobe snd-seq-oss
don't work when installing alsa!
If you got this far through my longwinded post, thank you! I also, before noticing that rather large error, attempted to add the changes to the two files the ALSA site suggests (i forget the name of them now), but I think that those aren't the issue anyway so i won't go too far into it. I also attempted to garner some information from a previous post on this, but had troubles applying any of it to me.
Ok, I hope some of what I did / learned is useful / helpful to solving this problem. Philtesone, if you feel that I am attempting to hijack your post, sorry! I'll repost in my own thread if you want. I just didn't want to double up on similar questions, and I was hoping my efforts would help you perhaps.
Thanks in advance for any advice,
Matthew
