 |
|
I was using devfs and alsa. it worked great. now I changed to udev like described in
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/udev-guide.xml.
when I now want to play music (with xmms) it is playing but I hear no sound. first I thought it
was a mixer problem. I ran and pumped up all channels. still no sound.
when I run | Code: | | ls /dev |grep -i mixer |
I get no results.
has someone similar problems?
some other small questions:
is needed with 2.6 kernel?
what is for? |

under gnome I have a volume Icon but it does not work. If i click on it I get the message:
| Quote: | | Could't open mixer device /dev/sound/mixer |
how can I change that... I tried with preferences but it didn't work. |

well I had that problem with sound too, but It was cross I had wrong permissions, didi you look there in?
also in GNOMe it could be that your mixr is not set....go to the sound settings and look witch mixer is set, probaly take an other... |

my /dev/sound directory is emty. so I think its not a permission thing.
I think my problem is that I have no mixer in /dev and I also think that its
because of udev. before I used udeb all worked perfectly. |

problem solved 
reason not found 
strangely when I used alsamixer the channels were unmuted. on a debian forum I found
someone had the same problem and solved it with gnome-alsamixer. I emerged gnome-alsamixer
and launched it. strangely it showed all channels muted. so I unmuted all and now sound works now fine. |
