Hi, I'm using SuSE-8 with a Terratec EWX 24/96 sound card. When I installed SuSE it worked fine...I didn't have to do anything. But after a while it has just stopped playing any sound.
When I try: alsasound start I can see that it is already loaded. When I look in YaST2 I can see that I have: "[0] ICE1712[Envy24] Running" (also, 'Start Alsa' and 'Start Sequencer' are checked'), but when I click on Test, or when I try and play any sound-files, I just hear nothing at all. From 7.3 in the mini 'how-to' it mentions a 'muting' facility so I thought it was worth a try (maybe an application has muted my soundcard?) but when I try the commands (either with or without the 'set' option) I get an error (see below, could be a red herring?). Can someone enlighten to me as to what could have stopped (or rather, muted?) my soundcard and how I can get it back working? (there is nothing in /var/log/messages and the card appears to have started...) Thanks in advance....(so close to being able to bin-off Windows.....) # amixer set -c 1 Master 70 unmute ALSA lib control.c:601:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL 1 amixer: Mixer attach 1 error: No such file or directory # amixer set -c 1 PCM 70 unmute ALSA lib control.c:601:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL 1 amixer: Mixer attach 1 error: No such file or directory # amixer set -c 1 CD 70 unmute ALSA lib control.c:601:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL 1 amixer: Mixer attach 1 error: No such file or directory _______________________________________________________________ Sponsored by: ThinkGeek at http://www.ThinkGeek.com/ _______________________________________________ Alsa-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
