hello,
i downloaded tcl 4.0 alpha and burned the CD.
i booted the cd
i did onbot installs of "alsa.tcz" and "alsaconf"
the machine had already had a USB soundcard plugged in before it was powered on and before tcl was booted.
the machine also has an internal PCI soundcard. (slot)
Alsaconf only found the internal PCI soundcard. It did not find the usb card.
i did not try to configure the internal PCI card but just probed non exitent pnp cards and completed the alsaconf script........... and exited.
i then ran the "aplay -l" command and saw that NO soundcards were present.
i then unplugged and re-plugged the USB soundcard. in.........
i then ran the "aplay -l" command again and alsa had correctly found and configured the USB soundcard "working sound"
