iBook G3 700 sound problem with Gnome

byronformwalt · n00b Joined: 29 Mar 2003 Posts: 14 Location: Dayton, OH

I have my sound drivers properly installed... or so I think.

I can generate a terminal beep.

I can also play sound files with xmms.

Sound events are not functioning within Gnome 2.2.1.

If I try ?alsactl power?, the response I get is ?alsactl: power:1260: No soundcards found...?

When I look in /dev/sound, I see the following devices: dsp, mixer, unknown6.

And finally, this is the output I get from ?dmesg?, to give you more specific info about my system:

I'm pretty sure you're using the kernel OSS sound card driver there, not the ALSA one (If there is an ALSA driver for this card, I don't know...). So alsactl's not going to do anything. I'd suspect Gnome's trying to use ALSA, which isn't present, so you need to investigate telling it to use OSS.... Not much use, I know, but good luck...
