hello! well, i need alsa9 in order to run xine .9.12; so i fetched the rpm's (alsa, alsa-devel, alsa-driver) from ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/tiwai/7.2-i386/ and installed them as outlined in the readme of the site.
specifically, here's what i did: rpm -Uvh alsa.rpm --force rpm -Uvh alsa-driver.rpm --force now typing 'rcalsasound start' gives me Starting sound driver: snd-ens1371 /lib/modules/2.4.4-4GB/misc/snd-mixer.o: unresolved symbol snd_register_device /lib/modules/2.4.4-4GB/misc/snd-mixer.o: unresolved symbol snd_kcalloc /lib/modules/2.4.4-4GB/misc/snd-mixer.o: unresolved symbol snd_control_unregister_ioctl /lib/modules/2.4.4-4GB/misc/snd-mixer.o: unresolved symbol snd_info_free_entry /lib/modules/2.4.4-4GB/misc/snd-mixer.o: unresolved symbol snd_switch_remove /lib/modules/2.4.4-4GB/misc/snd-mixer.o: unresolved symbol snd_device_new /lib/modules/2.4.4-4GB/misc/snd-mixer.o: unresolved symbol snd_switch_free /lib/modules/2.4.4-4GB/misc/snd-mixer.o: unresolved symbol snd_switch_add /lib/modules/2.4.4-4GB/misc/snd-mixer.o: unresolved symbol snd_switch_count /lib/modules/2.4.4-4GB/misc/snd-mixer.o: unresolved symbol snd_switch_prepare /lib/modules/2.4.4-4GB/misc/snd-mixer.o: unresolved symbol snd_unregister_device /lib/modules/2.4.4-4GB/misc/snd-mixer.o: unresolved symbol snd_iprintf /lib/modules/2.4.4-4GB/misc/snd-mixer.o: unresolved symbol snd_info_create_entry /lib/modules/2.4.4-4GB/misc/snd-mixer.o: unresolved symbol snd_info_register /lib/modules/2.4.4-4GB/misc/snd-mixer.o: unresolved symbol snd_kmalloc_strdup /lib/modules/2.4.4-4GB/misc/snd-mixer.o: unresolved symbol snd_control_register_ioctl /lib/modules/2.4.4-4GB/misc/snd-mixer.o: unresolved symbol snd_control_notify_switch_change /lib/modules/2.4.4-4GB/misc/snd-mixer.o: unresolved symbol snd_info_unregister /lib/modules/2.4.4-4GB/misc/snd-mixer.o: unresolved symbol snd_switch_new /lib/modules/2.4.4-4GB/misc/snd-mixer.o: unresolved symbol snd_switch_free_one /lib/modules/2.4.4-4GB/misc/snd-mixer.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.4-4GB/misc/snd-mixer.o failed /lib/modules/2.4.4-4GB/misc/snd-mixer.o: insmod snd-ens1371 failed failed so, i guess the "rpm -Uvh alsa-driver.rpm --force" broke my kernel drivers :( to make a long story short, i'm currently whithout sound, and it's horrible 8{ what do i have to do, so i can get sound again? i guess it has something to do with incompatibilities of modules, but i even recompiled the krnel plus modules, deleted the old modules and reinstalled the new ones, and it's the same thing. many thanks! stefan ps sorry for possible multiple posts, i had trouble with signing into the list. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Alsa-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
