> true, why is the documentation so far out of date? ALSA is well documented.. just in an unconventional way. There are mailing lists everywhere and unofficial FAQ's/official HOWTO's for 0.9 all over the place.
> I've compiled 2.4.16 and alsa-modules. > I ran snddevices If you're running debian, first start by using the dpkg-reconfigure options on the alsa-source package and then use make-kpkg modules to build a deb for the alsa source. This way you'll have nice "debianized" alsa modules ready to install with dpkg. > streaker:~#ls -l /dev/snd What's in /dev/sound? (Are you using devfs?) You should have a "mixer" there, and make sure it's readable by non-root users. (Or just add your user to the audio group) You're right -- the devices shouldn't be zero. It just sounds like they weren't properly installed.. try the make-kpkg method, look for the mixer device and check perms on the devices. cheers, Matt
