Hi,
I have enlightenment 0.16.4-1 on a woody system; I'm using an old SoundBlaster 16 (remember those which came with an IDE interface so you could plug the CD-ROM drive?). I had no sound problems until an upgrade I did yesterday: for some reason (I'm not sure if I did select additional packages or not, I thought I just did an apt-get upgrade), alsa seems to be misconfigured. During the installation of the packages yesterday, the alsaconf script was called... And my /etc/modules file now has several "alias snd-card-xx" entries. When I boot, this is what I get: sb Soundblaster audio driver Copyright (C) by Hannu Savolainen 1993-1996 sb: No ISAPnP cards found, trying standard ones... SB 4.13 detected OK (220) (so the sound card was detected) But later in the boot process, I also get lots of messages like: /etc/rc2.d/S20alsa: alias: snd-slot-XX not found /etc/rc2.d/S20alsa: alias: snd-card-XX not found /etc/rc2.d/S20alsa: alias: snd-service-0-0 not found /etc/rc2.d/S20alsa: alias: snd-mixer-oss not found (These are not shown when I call dmesg, I had to press ctrl-S and copy them during the boot process) And when I start enlightenment, it complains about not being ble to communicate with esound... Also, I can't use the sound device (it's lwys busy). I do not have the package "esound" installed, but I *do* have "esound-alsa", version 0.2.18-2 (I just checked) What could have happened? I tried calling alsaconf, and it shows me a list of soundcards (so I suppose it didn't detect the soundblaster automatically)... I can see: "SoundBlaster_1.0" "SoundBlaster_2.0" "SoundBlaster_Pro" And the others options are PnP and PCI cards (so I suppose they wouldn't work). I have tried choosing SoundBlaster_1.0, but it didn't work. Does anyone have any idea of what i have to do to get this working again? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
