 Posted: Tue Mar 02, 2004 11:16 pm Post subject: Alsa and 2.6....again.... |
 |
|
Okay...I just spent about 3 hours searching this forum for an answer but nothing seemed to work.
I just compiled the 2.6 kernel and am still trying to get sound to work. I have emerged alsa-lib and alsa-utils.
This is my problem
| Code: |
localhost linux # /etc/init.d/alsasound start
* ALSA Detected...
* Restoring Mixer Levels
/usr/sbin/alsactl: set_controls:986: snd_ctl_open error: No such file or directory
localhost linux # /etc/init.d/alsasound stop
* Unloading ALSA...
ALSA lib seq_hw.c:446:(snd_seq_hw_open) open /dev/snd/seq failed: No such file or directory
can't open sequencer
* Storing ALSA Mixer Levels
/usr/sbin/alsactl: save_state:1061: No soundcards found...
* Unloading modules
|
lsmod
| Code: |
localhost linux # lsmod

# Set this to the correct number of cards.
options snd cards_limit=1

modules-update worked with no errors.
I have no /dev/snd.
Alsa and its components are in the kernel and as modules. Lsmod shows the correct modules (I think). |

Ugh...nothing...nada...this sucks. Does anybody have ANY ideas what could be wrong?
Also, devfsd.conf
| Code: |
...
# ALSA/OSS stuff
# Comment/change these if you want to change the permissions on
# the audio devices
LOOKUP snd MODLOAD ACTION snd
LOOKUP dsp MODLOAD
LOOKUP mixer MODLOAD
LOOKUP midi MODLOAD
REGISTER sound/.* PERMISSIONS root.audio 660
REGISTER snd/.* PERMISSIONS root.audio 660

| For the 2.6 kernels you need version 1.0.x of alsa-libs and alsa-utils (which are masked). |

| Actually...those are the ones that werent' working. I downgraded to .9.8, recompiled my kernel, rebooted, and reemerged alsa-utils and now it works. I have no idea what was wrong but whatever it was I luckily got it worked out. I'll try the 1.0x alsa-utils again and see what happens. |

Consider adding the following devfs supporting alias, in addition to those you noted above: | Code: | alias /dev/snd snd-card-0
alias /dev/sound snd-card-0
alias /dev/sndstat snd-card-0 |

This is new for me to, I run a 2.6.2 kernel with alsa-lib en alsa-utils < v-1.x.x. It worked fine untill I recompiled my kernel ,,now that I read this I'll try to update to a version 1.x.x or greater and see what happens. |
