 Posted: Wed Jan 19, 2005 5:29 pm Post subject: My sound stopped working suddenly [SOLVED] |
 |
|
I have been running Gentoo on my box for about 3 months now. Today, for some unknown reason, the sound decides to stop working. On boot, I get the following message:
| Code: | ...can't load module via82cxxx_audio
missing kernel or user mode driver vai82cxxx_auto |
Then when I get into KDE I get this windowed error message:
| Code: | Error while initializing the sound driver
device /dev/dsp can't be opened (No such file or directory) |
These errors are completely new to me as the sound was working on this machine fine up until around 11:30 today.
I was trying to get the LISa daemon running along with SAMBA. Those were the only two things I was working on before I rebooted the machine and the sound puked.
Any ideas?

| are you using an ALSA driver compiled into the kernel, as a module or is it directly from the ALSA package? |

When you mentioned that, it sparked a memory of what I had done on Monday this week. I needed to compile a software package with the 2.4.27 kernel so I downloaded the kernel, compiled it, and put it in my /usr/src directory. I took the "linux" symbolic link and pointed it to the 2.4.27 kernel. I hadn't rebooted since the change to the symbolic link so I didn't know it would mess anything else up. Anyway, I went and got the symbolic link to point back to the 2.4.26-gentoo-r14 kernel and that solved the problem. I'm such a goober. Thanks.
