hi guys.... first post here.....first time using linux and chose to use gentoo ^_^..... well..... installation was easy....but this prob is giving me headache....

okz... i followed the guide on how 2 compile the ALSA drivers..... all went well until its time 2 start it up =(.....

i added alsasound to run at boot and started the script manually.... "/etc/init.d/alsasound start"

then there is a list of errors

*error*
bash-2.05b# /etc/init.d/alsasound start
* Initialising ALSA....
* Starting sound driver: snd-emu10k1 /lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/sound/pci/emu10k1/snd-emu10k1.o: init_module: No such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg

/lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/sound/pci/emu10k1/snd-emu10k1.o: insmod snd-emu10k1 failed [ ok ]
*end*

den i was lyke woah... wad happened.... tried to run amixer but got another error
*error*
bash-2.05b# amixer
amixer: Mixer attach default error: No such file or directory
*end*

i tried insmoding the snd-mixer-oss and snd-pcm-oss but there is more probs....
*error*
bash-2.05b# insmod snd-mixer-oss

*end*

but i ran modprobe and the 2 modules are loaded.....

restarted my computer..... got the same problem when loading snd-emu10k1.... loaded gnome....opened up xmms.... load some mp3s and hope for the best....

2 my suprise.... THERE IS SOUND!!!!! quality is good.... (other than the fact that there is only 2 speakers instead of 4)

anywayz.... even after i loaded the 2 modules.... i am unable to start amixer.....

p.s. i recompiled my kernel(vanilla-flavoured), and i only chose sound support as a module.....

hope to hear from you guys soon.....

Try using modprobe to insert your modules instead of insmod.

i have tried using modprobe 2 load snd-emu10k.... no use....

why are you using snd-emu10k1, i use just modprobe emu10k1 on my gentoo-sources kernel and it works like a charm, i don't really know if there's any difference.

well.... the weird thing is that there IS sound.... even when alsa driver isn't loaded properly.... farnie ehzz....... well.... the sound quality is good 2..... (at least better then the driver provided by my redhat....)

snd-emu101k is the ALSA driver, emu101k the OSS/Free kernel drive.

i think i had the same problem with my previous mandrake install, i had sound (good sound) but kmix showed up some tri???? sound board, i never gave it much work so i don't know how to fix it

I currently have the same exact error and sound card as the original poster but I don't have such luck to where sound works when I open xmms, and suggestions for a solution would be greatly appreciated!

emerge alsa-xmms, then you won't need /dev/dsp for xmms. Won't fix your problem, just helps to play your musics.
