Re: get no sound with xmms/xine
when I try to run alsamixer (as root, of course) I get:
alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device
Could this be part of the problem? How do I get alsamixer to run?
Also, running demsg shows nothing about sound or alsa.
Finally, are the modules with 'oss' in the name alsa modules?
Thanks in advance,
Tom Arnall
