After all the trouble and the error message I was getting when compiling Alsa, I have decided to recompile my kernel. I have spent the last week, as a newbie, doing my first kernel compilation. Needless to say that I had to reformat my drive a few times and delete and recompile a few times. I am now able to boot my system with only one error message, mixer failing to load.
I have to run modprobe snd-emu10k1 everytime I reboot to load the modules and once it's loaded, here's what I get when I do 'cat /proc/modules: snd-emu10k1 58112 0 (unused) snd-hwdep 3648 0 [snd-emu10k1] snd-rawmidi 12384 0 [snd-emu10k1] snd-seq-device 4128 0 [snd-emu10k1 snd-rawmidi] snd-ac97-codec 22496 0 [snd-emu10k1] snd-pcm 49472 0 [snd-emu10k1] snd-timer 9824 0 [snd-pcm] snd-util-mem 1456 0 [snd-emu10k1] snd 27208 0 [snd-emu10k1 snd-hwdep snd-rawmidi snd-seq-device snd-ac97-codec snd-pcm snd-timer snd-util-mem] radeon 89464 1 agpgart 31232 3 (autoclean) nfsd 69344 8 (autoclean) lockd 49728 1 (autoclean) [nfsd] sunrpc 61556 1 (autoclean) [nfsd lockd] af_packet 12296 0 (autoclean) ip_vs 65176 0 (autoclean) 3c59x 25192 1 (autoclean) nls_iso8859-1 2816 2 (autoclean) nls_cp850 3552 2 (autoclean) vfat 9948 2 (autoclean) fat 31064 0 (autoclean) [vfat] sr_mod 14424 0 (autoclean) (unused) rtc 5880 0 (autoclean) ext3 60684 3 jbd 39356 3 [ext3] aic7xxx 113000 0 (unused) sd_mod 11340 0 (unused) [root@sector1333 alsa-driver-0.9.0beta12]# It looks like it's loading correctly. 'cat /proc/asound/sndstat' results in this: Sound Driver:3.8.1a-980706 (ALSA v0.9.0beta12 emulation code) Kernel: Linux sector1333 2.4.18-6mdk #1 Sat Mar 30 16:14:08 PST 2002 i686 Config options: 0 Installed drivers: Type 10: ALSA emulation Card config: Sound Blaster Live! at 0xac00, irq 4 Audio devices: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG Synth devices: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG Midi devices: 0: EMU10K1 MPU-401 (UART) Timers: 7: system timer Mixers: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG [root@sector1333 alsa-driver-0.9.0beta12]# I'm thinking this could be the reason why even after running 'amixer set Master 100 unmute' I'm still not getting sound. Am I correct in this? How to fix the NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG????
