Hi, I just recently compiled and installed the alsa sound modules on my machine.
It's an AMD 900, running debian stable, kernel 2.4.18. The sound card is a Creative Sound Blaster Live! Platinum. Currently, I am using: alsa-driver-0.9.0rc6 alsa-lib-0.9.0rc6 alsa-utils-0.9.0rc6 alsa-driver was compiled with "--with-cards=emu10k1" This is what I started with, as well, but when I ran across these problems, I did downgrade once to 0.5 versions, had the same problem, blew everything away, and reinstalled with 0.9 Anyways, what I am seeing is that the sound modules load fine, and everything looks good, and I hear sound. However, none of the mixer programs seem to work right. gmix doesn't do much of anything, and even alsamixer itself behaves very strangely At first I wasn't getting any sound, so I made sure to unmute everything, but still nothing.. Even though "wave" and "Master" were both up. I then started toying with the other settings. I first turned up "Wave Central" and it raised the volume of the left channel. I then raised "Wave LFE", which raised the right channel. Then, I realized that the "Headphones" setting seemed to be controlling the master volume. Pretty weird -- so, in short, alsamixer is behaving oddly, and gmix (and other mixers) don't seem to work at all. Any ideas? Here are the modules loaded, and all of the pertinent devices I can think of: # lsmod Module Size Used by Not tainted snd-pcm-oss 37092 0 (autoclean) snd-mixer-oss 11104 1 (autoclean) [snd-pcm-oss] snd-emu10k1 59972 1 (autoclean) snd-pcm 59808 0 (autoclean) [snd-pcm-oss snd-emu10k1] snd-timer 11456 0 (autoclean) [snd-pcm] snd-rawmidi 13184 0 (autoclean) [snd-emu10k1] snd-util-mem 1488 0 (autoclean) [snd-emu10k1] snd-ac97-codec 26224 0 (autoclean) [snd-emu10k1] snd-hwdep 3712 0 (autoclean) [snd-emu10k1] snd 27176 0 (autoclean) [snd-pcm-oss snd-mixer-oss snd-emu10k1 snd-pcm snd-timer snd-rawmidi snd-util-mem snd-ac97-codec snd-hwdep] smbfs 33120 0 (unused) ntfs 49888 0 (unused) msdos 5020 0 (unused) fat 30552 0 [msdos] sound 56844 0 (unused) soundcore 3972 8 [snd sound] # ls -la /dev/amixer* /dev/mixer* crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 11 Jan 5 08:44 /dev/amixer0 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 27 Jan 5 08:44 /dev/amixer1 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 43 Jan 5 08:44 /dev/amixer2 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 59 Jan 5 08:44 /dev/amixer3 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Jan 5 08:44 /dev/mixer -> /dev/mixer0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root audio 14, 0 Jan 5 08:44 /dev/mixer0 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 16 Jan 5 08:44 /dev/mixer1 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 32 Jan 5 08:44 /dev/mixer2 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 48 Jan 5 08:44 /dev/mixer3 -- Chris Wage [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://chris.agenteight.com/
