Hi All, I've been trying to install the ALSA 5.12a drivers on Red Hat 7.2. I have an AC97 sound card so I'm installing the via8233 driver.
All three (driver, lib and utils) compiled/installed without problem (i.e. configure, make, make install) and | have set up the modules.conf as below. When I feed data into aplay or use alsamixer all is OK and the speakers resond as I had hoped. However when I use the GNome CD , (TCD) player no sound is forthcoming. When the I use the GNome Sound Recorder and try to play a loaded file the error,"Sounddevice not ready! Please check that there isn't another program running that's using the sound device" is reported. The GNome sound effects are also working. If I start it in KDE I have the same problems. Only errors reported in /var/log/messages are when the GNome mixer is started . Any ideas how or what I need to do to get the CD and other utilities going? Many thanks in anticipation. cat /proc/modules ide-cd 27040 0 (autoclean) cdrom 28640 0 (autoclean) [ide-cd] snd-pcm-oss 19120 0 (autoclean) snd-pcm-plugin 17872 0 (autoclean) [snd-pcm-oss] snd-mixer-oss 4832 0 (autoclean) [snd-pcm-oss] snd-card-via8233 5872 0 (autoclean) snd-pcm 31808 0 (autoclean) [snd-pcm-oss snd-pcm-plugin snd-card-via8233] snd-timer 8432 0 (autoclean) [snd-pcm] snd-ac97-codec 24032 0 (autoclean) [snd-card-via8233] snd-mixer 24608 0 (autoclean) [snd-mixer-oss snd-ac97-codec] snd 34768 1 (autoclean) [snd-pcm-oss snd-pcm-plugin snd-mixer-oss snd-card-via8233 snd-pcm snd-timer snd-ac97-codec snd-mixer] soundcore 4464 2 (autoclean) [snd] binfmt_misc 6416 1 autofs 11584 0 (autoclean) (unused) 8139too 12896 1 ipchains 39232 0 nls_iso8859-1 2832 1 (autoclean) nls_cp437 4352 1 (autoclean) vfat 9744 1 (autoclean) fat 32512 0 (autoclean) [vfat] usb-uhci 21600 0 (unused) usb-ohci 18608 0 (unused) usbcore 51808 1 [usb-uhci usb-ohci] ext3 64624 4 jbd 41056 4 [ext3] ALSA driver portion of modules.conf alias char-major-116 snd options snd snd_major=116 snd_cards_limit=1 alias snd-card-0 snd-card-via8233 alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss Only elements found in /var/log/messages are generated when GMIX GNome mixer is started the first time.
