Re: no sound with kernel 2.4.2
I have the same problem. I updated the kernel to 2.4.2 and the sound became
partly disabled. According to dmesg the kernel finds and sets the soundcard
correctly (I have ESS1868), I can play soundfiles by sending them to either
/dev/audio or /dev/dsp, using cat (this I can do both as root and normal
user). I can use xmms only as root, esd complains like this (also when run
by root):
audio_alsa: no cards found!Audio device open for 44.1Khz, stereo, 16bit failed Trying 44.1Khz, 8bit stereo.
audio_alsa: no cards found!Audio device open for 44.1Khz, stereo, 8bit failed Trying 22.05Khz, 8bit stereo.

audio_alsa: no cards found!Sound device inadequate for Esound. Fatal.
gmix and other gnome-programs also complain. I have been wondering if the
fact that I've got alsa-base installed has something to do with this (it was
already installed when I updated the kernel). The
error messages esd spews out certainly points to that. Anyone have further
suggestions?
