 |
|
I did a humungus update last week of about 92 packages, and after that I haven't been able to get my soundcard to play.
When I boot inte kde (I normally run fvwm) i get an error from arts telling me that /dev/dsp can't be opened (No such file or directory)
# amixer
amixer: Mixer attach default error: No such device
I'm on kernel 2.4 and running an old Soundblaster card.

Hi,
Do you have the alsa modules compiled into the kernel or are you
using the alsa-driver ?
Dit it update the alsa-tools ?
Is the /etc/modules.d/alsa changed during etc-update?
If so check that the modules get loaded, (lsmod)
If not fix the /etc/modules.d/alsa , do a modules-update
and /etc/init.d/alsasound restart

Well... Thing is that I tried to update to kernel 2.6 about a year ago and it garbeled up my system completly, so I had to do a complete system reinstallation... Thing is that I did it quick'n dirty...
I belive all sound is compiled as modules.

Yup. Also alsa-driver and alsa-lib.

Nope, last changed 26 Aug.

Ok... Appears to be something wrong in my kernel, but I haven't recompiled that in about a year...
Also it would appear that I'm not running ALSA native, but are using OSS??? |
