I've got a Realtek AC'97 soundcard in my laptop - running Debian Sid on 2.6.3, I've got the correct ALSA modules in my kernel, and I can play a CD - however I can't play anything else... mpg123 just says: Can't open default sound device! (root@oasis:music)# ls -al /dev/audio lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 2003-12-31 03:14 /dev/audio -> /dev/audio0 (root@oasis:music)# ls -al /dev/audio0 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 4 2003-12-31 03:14 /dev/audio0 Since I'm trying to play something as root, I assume that this can't be a permissions problem? lsmod shows the relevant modules installed: snd_intel8x0 29444 0 snd_ac97_codec 60676 1 snd_intel8x0 snd_pcm 86500 1 snd_intel8x0 snd_timer 21700 1 snd_pcm snd_page_alloc 9252 2 snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm snd_mpu401_uart 6176 1 snd_intel8x0 snd_rawmidi 18272 1 snd_mpu401_uart I assume that something is working right since I can play a CD, but I'm stumped as to what is stopping me playing anything else? Any ideas would be appreciated TIA -- -jamie <jamie@silverdream.org> | spamtrap: spam@silverdream.org w: http://silverdream.org | p: sms@silverdream.org pgp key @ http://silverdream.org/~jps/pub.key 06:30:01 up 17:22, 1 user, load average: 3.30, 2.25, 1.06
