Hi all,
for some reason I can't get my Soundblaster to work. Everything seems to
be just fine, but all the devices nodes are missing under /dev/snd, and the only clue about my soundcard in dmesg is
| Code: | | ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:00:08.0[A] -> GSI 19 (level, low) -> IRQ 169 |
Strangely enough, I can access the soundcard using the OSS compatibility
layer.
Well, here comes the rest
| Code: | # lspci | grep audio
0000:00:08.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Live! EMU10k1 (rev 0a)

| Code: | # lsmod | grep snd

Furthermore, I'm using udev 049 and as I said, all the device nodes under
/dev/snd are missing, even the directory itself doesn't exist 
Coldplug is started during boot btw.
Does anyone got an idea?
Thanks |

| Instead of compiling the ALSA stuff as modules, compile it into the kernel. It works really great that way for me. If you do not want do that for some reason, try /etc/init.d/alsasound start . Cheers. |

hi, thanks for the advice. I might give that a shot.
Just for clarification, alsasound is started. The only error message I get, ist that my sound devices need to be unmuted.
An alsa restart after the system started shows me this
| Code: | # /etc/init.d/alsasound restart
* Unloading ALSA ... [ ok ] * Storing ALSA Mixer Levels
/usr/sbin/alsactl: save_state:1061: No soundcards found... [ ok ] * Unloading modules |
and some more info
| Code: | # cat /etc/modules.d/alsa
# Alsa 0.9.X kernel modules' configuration file.
# $Header: /var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/media-sound/alsa-utils/files/alsa-modules.conf-rc,v 1.2 2004/07/18 03:40:55 dragonheart Exp $

I managed to solve it. Somehow udev simply doesn't create the devices.
Although udev was running
| Code: | # ps -ef | grep udev
root 2027 1 0 Dec16 ? 00:00:00 udevd
|
a simple
did the trick
| Code: | ls /dev/snd/
controlC0 hwC0D0 midiC0D0 pcmC0D0c pcmC0D0p pcmC0D1c pcmC0D2c pcmC0D2p timer |
Thanks anyway |
