 Posted: Thu Jul 14, 2005 1:13 pm Post subject: mixer problem [SOLVED] |
 |
|
I have a problem with /dev/mixer 
When I run tvtime I receive this
Running tvtime 0.99.
Reading configuration from /etc/tvtime/tvtime.xml
Reading configuration from /root/.tvtime/tvtime.xml
mixer: Can't open device /dev/mixer, mixer volume and mute unavailable.
Also I have troubles running Volume Control applet - I click Add to Panel, but It can't add it.
The strange is that I have a sound and alsa works fine, but I can't use Volume control and tvtime has no audio. I have alsa workinkg, but I have no mixer device!
Another strange thing is that I have no such device "mixer" in /dev :
# ls /dev/m*
/dev/mcd /dev/mcdx3 /dev/midi00 /dev/midi2 /dev/mpu401data
/dev/mcdx /dev/mcdx4 /dev/midi01 /dev/midi3 /dev/mpu401stat
/dev/mcdx0 /dev/mcelog /dev/midi02 /dev/mixer1
/dev/mcdx1 /dev/mem /dev/midi03 /dev/mixer2
/dev/mcdx2 /dev/midi0 /dev/midi1 /dev/mixer3
/dev/misc:
agpgart inotify psaux rtc
I'm a newbie in Linux and Gentoo and I don't know how can I install this mixer device and ALSA works fine and I have a sound.
I'll be glad if anyone can help me.

I assume you are using alsa-driver. Enable OSS emulation in the kernel if not. |

I've solved problem with missing mixer device, but now I have another:(
That's the output
/etc/init.d/alsasound start
* Caching service dependencies ... [ ok ]
* Loading ALSA modules ...
* Loading: snd-card-0 ... [ ok ]
* Restoring Mixer Levels ...
/usr/sbin/alsactl: set_control:1039: bad control.7.value index [ !! ]
Any ideas how to fix it?
