I am still trying to get my nForce sound working via ALSA. Since I last said anything here, I have attempted to use the 2.4.21-pre2-jp15 kernel which has ALSA built in [1]
There is almost no change, except I get more informative messages now. When I try to play an MP3 in XMMS, the following is printed to the console: ** WARNING **: oss_open(): Failed to open audio device (/dev/dsp): No such device ALSA, when starting up also has a bit more to say: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 0.9.0rc5. kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k snd-card-0, errno = 2 kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k snd-card-1, errno = 2 kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k snd-card-2, errno = 2 kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k snd-card-3, errno = 2 kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k snd-card-4, errno = 2 kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k snd-card-5, errno = 2 kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k snd-card-6, errno = 2 kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k snd-card-7, errno = 2 PCI: Enabling device 00:06.0 (0005 -> 0007) PCI: Setting latency timer of device 00:06.0 to 64 ALSA ac97_codec.c:1604: AC'97 1:0 analog subsections not ready intel8x0: clocking to 47442 ALSA device list: #0: NVidia NForce at 0xed000000, irq 11 Previously I never used to get the kmod errors, or the last two lines. as far as I know, I have the devices correct: bash-2.05b$ ls -ld dsp* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Feb 3 22:50 dsp -> /dev/dsp0 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 3 Feb 3 22:50 dsp0 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 19 Feb 3 22:50 dsp1 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 35 Feb 3 22:50 dsp2 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 51 Feb 3 22:50 dsp3 bash-2.05b$ ls -ld a* crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 14 Feb 3 22:50 admmidi0 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 30 Feb 3 22:50 admmidi1 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 46 Feb 3 22:50 admmidi2 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 62 Feb 3 22:50 admmidi3 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Feb 3 22:50 adsp -> /dev/adsp0 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 12 Feb 3 22:50 adsp0 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 28 Feb 3 22:50 adsp1 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 44 Feb 3 22:50 adsp2 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 60 Feb 3 22:50 adsp3 crw-rw---- 1 root video 10, 175 Feb 3 21:36 agpgart crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 0 Feb 3 22:50 aloadC0 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 32 Feb 3 22:50 aloadC1 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 64 Feb 3 22:50 aloadC2 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 96 Feb 3 22:50 aloadC3 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 1 Feb 3 22:50 aloadSEQ lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Feb 3 22:50 amidi -> /dev/amidi0 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 13 Feb 3 22:50 amidi0 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 29 Feb 3 22:50 amidi1 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 45 Feb 3 22:50 amidi2 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 61 Feb 3 22:50 amidi3 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 11 Feb 3 22:50 amixer0 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 27 Feb 3 22:50 amixer1 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 43 Feb 3 22:50 amixer2 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 59 Feb 3 22:50 amixer3 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Feb 3 21:35 ataraid crw------- 1 root root 10, 3 Mar 14 2002 atibm lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Feb 3 22:50 audio -> /dev/audio0 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 4 Feb 3 22:50 audio0 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 20 Feb 3 22:50 audio1 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 36 Feb 3 22:50 audio2 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 52 Feb 3 22:50 audio3 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 7 Mar 14 2002 audioctl brw-rw---- 1 root cdrom 29, 0 Mar 14 2002 aztcd0 I have been trying this as root, so it shouldn't be a permissions problem. Nothing appears to be blocking these devices: Firia:/dev# lsof | grep /dev/audio Firia:/dev# lsof | grep dsp Firia:/dev# Any ideas what else could be wrong? [1] Sound actually worked on 2.5.59 unfortunately that kernel has no ATARAID support so was useless to me. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SlickEdit Inc.
