Sound weirdness

[David Barron]

Yes.
Intel-810, using snd-intel8x0 in modules
Yes, sounds module is loaded in the kernel.  Seems to me the snd-intel8x0 wouldn't load without that.
Yes, I unmuted all the channels.

Did you compile alsa-driver for your specific sound card?  What kind of sound card do you have?  Did you make sure that the sounds module is loaded in the kernel?  Are you 100% sure that you unmuted all the correct channels in your alsamixer?

I've also tried playing a wave file in Gnome Sound Recorder but I get an error about /dev/dsp being busy.  When I exit Xwindows I see that esd has generated some errors:
