 Posted: Sun Apr 25, 2004 5:54 pm Post subject: ALSA stopped working |
 |
|
I did have alsa working fine on my computer - but it's stopped working now, and I'm not sure why
I thought it had stopped working after I changed from the 2.6.5 kernel I got from kernel.org to gentoo-dev-sources (haven't had much need for sound lately though so it's hard to tell), but I have the same trouble with both kernels now
In between sound working and now working I'd also gone from alsa-utils 1.0.3 to 1.0.4, so I tried going back to 1.0.3, and now things have got even worse, /etc/init.d/alsasound restart gives the following output: (note - I reemerged 1.0.4 first, and this started happening then)
| Code: | * WARNING: you are stopping a boot service.
* Unloading ALSA...
* Storing ALSA Mixer Levels
/usr/sbin/alsactl: save_state:1061: No soundcards found...
* Unloading modules [ ok ]
* ALSA Detected...
* Restoring Mixer Levels
/usr/sbin/alsactl: set_controls:986: snd_ctl_open error: No such file or directory [ ok ] |
Something like amixer set <something> gives
| Code: | | amixer: Mixer attach default error: No such file or directory |
alsamixer gives
| Code: | | alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory |
aplay <soundfile> gives
| Code: | | aplay: main:502: audio open error: No such file or directory |
lsmod doesn't show any snd modules
Anyone have any ideas what the problem is or what else I can do to try to find out?
My sound card is a via 8233 (snd-via82xx), and etc/modules.d/alsa looks like this (plus some commented out lines):
| Code: |
# ALSA portion
alias char-major-116 snd
# OSS/Free portion
alias char-major-14 soundcore
## ALSA portion
alias snd-card-0 snd-via82xx
## OSS/Free portion
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
# OSS/Free portion - card #1
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
alias /dev/mixer snd-mixer-oss
alias /dev/dsp snd-pcm-oss
alias /dev/midi snd-seq-oss
# Set this to the correct number of cards.
options snd cards_limit=1

how did you compile it into your kernel?

It's fixed now - as far as I can tell the only thing I did different to before was doing rc-update delete alsasound boot after unmerging, and then after emerging alsa-utils again it worked
