I had a working sound system with a 2.4 kernel using the alsa drivers package.
Now I have upgraded to 2.6, it no longer works. Because 2.6 has the drivers in it I assume thats not necessary. Indeed lsmod shows that my emu10k1 sound card module is loaded (part listing from lsmod below) snd_emu10k1 95620 0 snd_rawmidi 25056 1 snd_emu10k1 snd_pcm 99364 1 snd_emu10k1 snd_timer 25412 1 snd_pcm snd_seq_device 8136 2 snd_emu10k1,snd_rawmidi snd_ac97_codec 54148 1 snd_emu10k1 snd_page_alloc 11780 2 snd_emu10k1,snd_pcm snd_util_mem 4480 1 snd_emu10k1 snd_hwdep 9504 1 snd_emu10k1 snd 52516 8 snd_emu10k1,snd_rawmidi,snd_pcm,snd_timer,snd_seq_device,snd_ac97_codec,snd_util_mem,snd_hwdep However, when running alsamixer (as root - or as me as a member of the audio group) I get alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device Below is a short part of the /dev/snd directory kanger:/dev/snd# ls -l total 0 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 0 Feb 7 23:35 controlC0 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 32 Feb 7 23:35 controlC1 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 64 Feb 7 23:35 controlC2 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 96 Feb 7 23:35 controlC3 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 4 Feb 7 23:35 hwC0D0 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 5 Feb 7 23:35 hwC0D1 c Can anyone help me diagnose whats wrong -- Alan Chandler [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
