[sarge/kernel-2.4.26-1-686. I am in the "audio" group.]
I'm going to jump in here since I, too, can't get ALSA to work
correctly with my board (SB Live!). The first two steps above are OK.
[BTW, all works fine under a non-ALSA RH9.]
When I run 'alsaconf', it shows,
emu10k1 Creative Labs SB Live! EMU10k1 (rev 0a)
in the dialog which I select and configure. My radio/TV card does
*not* show up.
When I run 'alsamixer', it *only* shows my "Brooktree Bt878" card
(radio, TV). The "Bt878" mixer controls do nothing. More importantly,
I can't get what I'd call the "general mixer controls" to show up
(e.g., Master, PCM, etc). 'Kmix' seg faults!
I tried "alsamixer -c 1", and it returned:
alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for hw:1: No such device
Here are some relevant installed modules:
snd-bt87x 5704 0
snd-pcm-oss 39464 0 (unused)
snd-mixer-oss 13848 0 [snd-pcm-oss]
snd-pcm 61124 0 [snd-bt87x snd-pcm-oss]
snd-timer 14532 0 [snd-pcm]
snd-page-alloc 6392 0 [snd-bt87x snd-pcm]
snd 33508 0 [snd-bt87x snd-pcm-oss snd-mixer-oss
snd-pcm snd-timer]
soundcore 3940 8 [bttv snd emu10k1 sound]
Thanks for any help!
