problems with sound
Hi People. I am trying to get a box up and running and am stuck
with sound problems. I compiled a new 2.6.6 kernel kernel.org and
the kernel seems OK. The sound card is a sound blaster live and I
compiled that into the kernel; along with the mixer and stuff. I'm
using ALSA. On boot, the kernel recognizes the sound card.
However, when in GNOME I test the usage of the card with XMMS. I
get an error message that pops up that says
Please check that:
o You sound card is configured properly
o You have the correct output plugin selected
o No other program is blocking the sound card
OK, I checked /dev/dsp and it is there. Also, I'm doing this as
root, so I don't think it is a permission problem. I've searched the
net via google and the debian mail archive and either I'm missing
points people have made, or .... I dunno. I'm stuck.
I'm running sarge, BTW. I have libsound2 installed and alsa
packages from the deb archive too.
Suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
