Sound help?
My mind is somewhat boggled when it comes to getting sound support
working on my machine. I have a Dell laptop with Woody using a
self-compiled 2.4.24 kernel. I have i810_audio.o and sound.o explicitly
loaded, with all their respective dependencies.
esd loads automatically with Gnome. Using XMMS' eSound plugin,
everything works great. After I kill esd, XMMS' OSS plugin works great
as well.
But there's two problems that I'm trying to figure out:
1. Gnome's mixer applet doesn't work. Sure, it loads fine, and displays
a volume slider, but changing it has no effect whatsoever. The mute
button doesn't work either. This is with and without esd running.
2. Sound in Enemy Territory doesn't work. The console messages when the
game loads say "sound system is muted", even though the mixer applet is
not muted, and XMMS works fine. The game complains about /dev/dsp when I
have esd running, so I kill esd before I run the game.
Any advice, please?
