 |
|
I have used ALSA quite a fair amount before, and after a little kicking, it almost always works. However, after a recent incident (college life, nuff said). My computer was shut down manually... that is to say the power lead was removed from the surge protector. (Retribution was exacted). After retrieving the lead and beating the offender with it, several times, I went to work restoring the system. Damage was more than I expected, but it's my fault for using xfs (and no, I won't change it). Most damage was fixed with xfs_repair, but I still had to recompile the kernel, and now ALSA doesn't work. Not even a smidge. I know that the speakers are plugged in, because when I mute and unmute I get a ''thud'' from the speakers. I believe that alsa is correctly set up, because brings up my primary sound card. However, on attempted playback: no dice. So, can anyone help me? Kick me in the right direction? I am thoroughly unconvinced that the sound card could have been damaged with a single poweroff, but you never know.

Do you have ALSA compiled sa a module or into your kernel? What do your /etc/asound.conf and .asoundrc files look like?
Also, emerge alsamixergui or gnome-alsa-mixer and make sure your main volume and PCM aren't muted or anything if you haven't already.

It's compiled as a module, my .asoundrc is attached at the bottom. I have alsamixer installed, and I consider myself adept with its limited functions. Still tinkering though, and I appreciate any suggestions.

pcm.ossmix {
type dmix
ipc_key 1021 # must be unique!
slave {
pcm "hw:0,0"
period_time 0
period_size 1024 # must be power of 2
buffer_size 8192 # dito. It
#format "S32_LE"
#periods 128 # dito.
rate 48000
}
# bindings are cool. This says, that only the first
# two channels are to be used by dmix, which is enough for
# (most) oss apps and also lets multichannel chios work
# much faster:
bindings {
0 0 # from 0 => to 0
1 1 # from 1 => to 1
}
}
# Redirect to ossmix
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm "ossmix" # use our new PCM here
}
# Redirect to ossmix
pcm.dsp0 {
type plug
slave.pcm "ossmix" # use our new PCM here
}
# mixer0 like above
ctl.mixer0 {
type hw
card 0
}
