More sound problems...
Well, before I left for the weekend, I had my sound working. When I
returned, my machine had apparently lost power and was sitting there at
"invalid system disk" because I hada floppy in the drive. Anyway, my main
partition was hosed, so I had to run fsck manually.
Next, I fired up xmms to make sure my sound was still configured properly.
It wasn't. The program didn't report any errors, but nothing seems to reach
IRQ5 (or the speakers). Here are some worrisome kernel messages:
First of all, this one pops up a lot:
----
Oct 24 16:13:04 cmayes kernel: Sound: DMA (output) timed out - IRQ/DRQ
config error?
----
Another odd thing: klogd looks to have been dead long before the crash. The
last messages date back to the 18th. I know for a fact that the machine was
running then. The kernel also reports some odd packet deny messages. I
haven't a clue what they mean. Here's a sample:
----
Oct 18 13:31:53 cmayes kernel: Packet log: output DENY ppp0 PROTO=6
199.174.161.119:3188 216.34.4.81:80 L=52 S=0x00 I=46878 F=0x0000 T=64 (#6)
----
Now, here's the place that seems to be the main cause of the sound problems.
Here is the sound module initialization passage from /var/log/messages:
----
Oct 24 15:55:52 cmayes kernel: AWE32: not detected

Dmesg says roughly the same thing. Any clue what might be causing the
problem? Could the filesystem damage from the crash be responsible for some
of it? Any help would be muchly appreciated.
Thanks,
