I have a Compaq presario with a via686 chipset. I'm running RH7.0 with kernel 2.4.9.
I have recompiled the kernel so it includes sound card support, but not it's own via module. I compiled and installed alsa-driver-0.9.0beta8a, and the lib and util files for that version as well. Everything seems to work and I can run /etc/rc.d/init.d/alsasound start just fine, But when I run amixer it tells me "amixer: Mixer attach default error: No such file or directory" Some time ago (before I upgraded to 2.4.9) I had alsa running on this system. I'd appreciate any ideas that might help get it running again. - Rob --- Misc.
