 |
|
Hi all, Just a couple days ago I updated everything, and for some reason sound stopped working afterwards! I checked everything out, and then I found in xmms that it was using oss instead of alsa (or somethign instead of alsa...)
Anyways, I sitll don't have sound in any other programs... how do I fix this?
I also get this error...
"open /dev/[sound]dsp: No such file or directory"
?? I don't know what any of that means...

Yes I do. Currently sound works fine in XMMS, but none of my other programs are setup to use alsa! So I don't have sound... and I have NO CLUE how to change the standard...
anyways, simply, yes, its kernel based alsa

Uhm, when I press alt ctrl f1, and go to the terminal of the X display.. I noticed that error saying no /dev/dsp... I looked in /dev/sound, and there is no dsp there either... shouldn't there be a DSP?

seems you are 'missing' ALSA's OSS emulation
| Code: | CONFIG_SND_OSSEMUL=y
CONFIG_SND_MIXER_OSS=y
CONFIG_SND_PCM_OSS=y
CONFIG_SND_SEQUENCER_OSS=y |
or maybe you have a buggy udev version and the devices just don't get created?

gah, I'm still trying to get sound to no avail... except for programs where you can explicity define what your using for sound (such as xmms--oss/alsa/etc)
