 Posted: Mon Feb 21, 2005 8:46 pm Post subject: Sound Problems |
 |
|
I reinstalled Gentoo using the NPTL guide in the Documentation section. I had my sound working, but sound in Quake 3 was a no go. Apparently in my quest for sound in Quake, I've completely disabled sound overall in my entire system. I have an Audigy 2 ZS gamer, using the emu10k1 driver.
/etc/modules.d/alsa is
| Code: | # Alsa 0.9.X kernel modules' configuration file.
# $Header: /var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/media-sound/alsa-utils/files/alsa-modules.conf-rc,v 1.4 2004/11/16 01:31:22 eradicator Exp $
# ALSA portion
# OSS/Free portion

## IMPORTANT:
## You need to customise this section for your specific sound card(s)
## and then run `update-modules' command.
## Read alsa-driver's INSTALL file in /usr/share/doc for more info.

/etc/init.d/alsasound status reports
I'm not sure what I've done to kill off sound overall. I'm sure this is just some stupid mistake I've made, that can hopefully be fixed in about 3 seconds. All the mixer levels are at around 50, yes the speakers are plugged in. Quake 3 says the system is muted, but by doing "amixer set Master 100 unmute" says something about unknown level "unmute"...
Anyway, thanks in advance. |

Your /etc/modules.d/alsa file looks like it is missing some things compared to mine for my sblive. Here is mine:

| Added the missing things to mine, unfortunately it didn't fix anything noticable. Quake 3 seems to think that the sound system is muted. I've tried the amixer set Master 100 unmute stuff, to no avail. How else could it be muted? Again, that might just be quake, cause still my sound overall isnt working. |

| Does the sound work if you log in as root? Did you restart alsasound? |

Not even as root. heh, and all this happens after the sound was working... 
I can't imagine what I've done to it. And yes, alsasound is running, it correctly loaded the modules also. |

| Are you using udev? If so, try moving or removing /etc/security/console.perms. Then restart alsasound. |
