Hi Kim, Thanks for your advice, I think the drivers is successfully installed
and loaded, but I need to load it manally and need login as root. I use the
alsasound script in alsa /utils directory to load, how can I load it when the
system startup?

Also I download the alsa utilities but I don't know how to make and run the
mixer.

Regards
Frederick
