Hi People. I am trying to get a box up and running and am stuck with
sound problems. I compiled a new 2.6.6 kernel kernel.org and the
kernel seems OK. The sound card is a sound blaster live and I compiled that into the kernel; along with the mixer and stuff. I'm using ALSA. On boot, the kernel recognizes the sound card. However,
when in GNOME I test the usage of the card with XMMS. I get an error
message that pops up that says
o You sound card is configured properly
o You have the correct output plugin selected o No other program is blocking the sound card
OK, I checked /dev/dsp and it is there. Also, I'm doing this as root, so I don't think it is a permission problem. I've searched the net via google and the debian mail archive and either I'm missing points people have made, or .... I dunno. I'm stuck.
I've heard good things about alsaconf (in alsa-utils), although I've never used it myself. It will attempt to automatically generate a configuration for your card.
You'll need to execute it as root.
