Using Mandrake 8.1 and devfs enable, installing ALSA fails. The problem is that /proc/asound/dev is not created.Here is the result of ls /proc/asound: 0@ cards meminfo pcm sndstat version card1/ devices oss-devices seq/ timers In devfsd.conf, I have, as shown in installation doccs: LOOKUP snd MODLOAD ACTION snd REGISTER sound/.* PERMISSIONS root.user 660 REGISTER snd/.* PERMISSIONS root.user 660 Everything else is OK: cat /proc/asound/cards 0 [0 ]: ICH - Intel ICH 82801AA Intel ICH 82801AA at 0x1200, irq 9 cat sndstat Sound Driver:3.8.2-980706 (ALSA v0.5.12a emulation code) Kernel: Linux localhost.localdomain 2.4.8-26mdk #1 Sun Sep 23 17:06:39 CEST 2001 i686 Config options: 0 Installed drivers: Type 10: ALSA emulation Card config: Intel ICH 82801AA at 0x1200, irq 9 Audio devices: 0: Intel ICH (DUPLEX) Synth devices: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG Midi devices: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG Timers: 7: system timer Mixers: 0: Cirrus Logic CS4299 rev D. I am not alone in this case (seehttp://www.geocrawler.com/mail/msg.php3?msg_id=7185193&list=12350) I thinks the problem may be in devfs, or in modules.conf. Here is what I have in modules.conf alias char-major-116 snd alias char-major-14 soundcore alias snd-card-0 snd-card-intel8x0 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 #options snd snd_major=116 snd_cards_limit=1 options snd-card-intel8x0 snd_index=0 snd_id="0" Of course, alsamixer don't work, and I have no sound: alsamixer failed to open mixer #0/#0: No such file or directory Well, I Need HELP! Is there something missing? _______________________________________________ Alsa-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
