I appear to have missed something during Alsa installation and am unable to get any sound out of my system's speakers. Here is what I get from the following queries:

I do see that the module alias char-major-116 does not appear to be found. I also know that the modules.conf file does alias this to the snd module as shown above. I have located what I believe is the correct snd module in: /lib/modules/2.4.20-8/kernel/sound/acore/snd.o If you look at the output from lsmod above, the snd module does appear to be loaded. Also, I noticed the message: Oct 2 17:06:49 aragorn kernel: ALSA intel8x0.c:2743: joystick(s) found from /var/log/messages above which appears to be strange, since I don't have a joystick connected to the system and nothing is connected to any USB port. I have the volume all the way up on the speakers. I have not changed the hardware configuration from the time when sound was being produced using the arts server. The output from amixer above shows that the Master, Master M, CD and PCM on both L and R channels (non-Mono of course) is at full and that no channel is muted. Using aplay does not produce any sound from the speakers. I also do not have any kde sounds anymore. There was a mention that kwmsound needed to be in the kde startup script, but kwmsound does not appear to be a part of the RH9 distribution as far as I can tell. The arts server has been turned off in the KDE control center and ps -elf does not show it running. The sound group of the control center shows that the alsa driver is being used. The driver files were compiled with debugging on. Trying to use the CD with KsCD does not produce any sound. Trying to run xmame.xgl produces the following sound error: ALSA lib pcm_hw.c:1055:(snd_pcm_hw_open) open /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p failed: Device or resource busy Alsa error: audio open error: Device or resource busy and locks up the console. I'm using an Intel D845BGL motherboard with an integrated Intel810 chipset, 1.8GHz i686, 512MB RAM. The driver docs mention the following options: The module options for snd-intel8x0 # description: "Intel 82801AA,82901AB,i810,i820,i830,i840,i845,MX440; SiS 7012; Ali 5455" # author: "Jaroslav Kysela " # license: "GPL" # parm: index int array (min = 1, max = 8), description "Index value for Intel i8x0 soundcard." # parm: id string array (min = 1, max = 8), description "ID string for Intel i8x0 soundcard." # parm: enable int array (min = 1, max = 8), description "Enable Intel i8x0 soundcard." # parm: ac97_clock int array (min = 1, max = 8), description "AC'97 codec clock (0 = auto-detect)." # parm: joystick_port int array (min = 1, max = 8), description "Joystick port address for Intel i8x0 soundcard. (0 = disabled)" # parm: mpu_port int array (min = 1, max = 8), description "MPU401 port # for Intel i8x0 driver." but I'm not sure if any of them are needed. To my knowledge I built and installed the latest drivers available at this time (excluding a CVS build): driver: 0.9.7a library: 0.9.7 utilities: 0.9.7 tools: 0.9.7 Does anyone have any idea what I might have missed or what debugging direction I might go in next? Any help would be greatly appreciated. -=> Gregg <=- ------------------------------------------------------- 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
