hey all,
after a reboot, my sound has disappeared. music123 tells me
Error: Cannot open device oss.
so i look to see if I've got the apporpriate modules in my kernel
(which I should have; this never _used_to be a problem!), and, as far
as I can tell, I don't. I only have:
Module Size Used by Not tainted
serial 42436 0 (autoclean)
vfat 9548 0 (unused)
fat 29848 0 [vfat]
I need at least "sound" and the module for my soundcard, yes? es1371
(which is what I think I need for my Ensoniq) is in /etc/modules, but
it's not getting loaded; there's nothing i can see in dmesg,
/var/log/messages, or /var/log/syslog that's relevant.
So i try to modprobe it in by hand, and get the following output:
/lib/modules/2.4.20+nori-orange/kernel/drivers/sound/es1371.o: init_module: No such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg
/lib/modules/2.4.20+nori-orange/kernel/drivers/sound/es1371.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.20+nori-orange/kernel/drivers/sound/es1371.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.20+nori-orange/kernel/drivers/sound/es1371.o: insmod es1371 failed
No such device? What device? I have all the /dev/dsps:
crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 3 Jun 22 00:53 /dev/dsp
crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 3 Apr 14 2001 /dev/dsp0
crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 19 Jun 22 00:53 /dev/dsp1
crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 35 Jun 22 00:53 /dev/dsp2
crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 51 Jun 22 00:53 /dev/dsp3
googling for these errors turns up many problems with them, but no
good solutions (one person fixed his problem by rebooting;
unsurprisingly, this didn't work for me).
Am I going about thins in the wrong way? what can I do to get sound
working again?
thanks a loT!
