I'm almost at my wit's end. As is usually the case, my sound was just fine until I ran across a nice home automation package I want to use badly. In order to take advantage of it's most flashy features, a must in HA :) , I need to figure out alsa support. This is how it always goes. You wish to use one simple application, and you dive in head first, next thing you know you're reaching for the life raft...
I *had* alsa working finally, although without much luck in using xmms. For some reason now, attempting to start amixer results in the following output: amixer: error while loading shared libraries: amixer: undefined symbol: snd_defaults_mixer_card I can't seem to find any leads as to where to go next. A little background. - amixer was working & I had sound - cat /proc/asound/cards shows the right card (ens1371) in the right spot - all modules seem to be loaded just like they were when it WAS working - modules.conf goes like so: # ALSA native device support alias char-major-116 snd options snd snd_major=116 snd_cards_limit=1 alias snd-card-0 snd-card-ens1371 options snd-card-ens1371 snd_index=0 snd_id="EV1938" # OSS/Free setup alias char-major-14 soundcore 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 - alsa version 0.5.11 on mandrake (using kernel 2.4.8-26) - alsa services start without giving any error on boot - running xmms from commanc line produces the following: /usr/lib/libSDL-1.2.so.0: undefined symbol: snd_pcm_pluggin_params /usr/lib/libSDL-1.2.so.0: undefined symbol: snd_pcm_pluggin_params /usr/lib/libSDL-1.2.so.0: undefined symbol: snd_pcm_pluggin_params /usr/lib/libSDL-1.2.so.0: undefined symbol: snd_pcm_pluggin_params ALSA lib control.c:601:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL hw:0 xmms: simple.c:1071 snd_mixer_selem_get_id: Assertion `elem && id' failed Aborted I appreciate any help anyone has to offer.
