alsa not working
Hi,
I searched linuxquestions.org and the last year of this list but
could not find anything relevant.
Problem:
alsa sound not working.
alsaconf is not working either. It says no pci cards found, and
scanning for legacy ISA cards is not useful, I don't have those.
So automatic configuration does not work.
Symptoms:
alsamixer says:
alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory
Additional info:
/dev/dsp points to /dev/sound/dsp (which seems to be ok)
I am a member of groups cdrom, audio and video
See attached the output of lspci, lsmod
and my /etc/modules and /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
My hardware:
Asus p4p800 deluxe
Soundblaster live!
The funny thing is that I can hear sounds just fine by playing a flash
animation with sound, eg the casini one found on http://www.nasa.gov/home/
So the hardware works.
However I cannot get arts to work.
Also xmms does not work using the alsa output driver
I guess I am still missing some alsa-specific configuration stuff.
Thanks for any ideas,
John
