Hello, I am having similar issues with Arts and XMMS talking to my Nforce2 AC97 driver. I have tried all possible kernel configurations, including modular ALSA (letting hotplug find the devices), modular OSS emulated ALSA, modular native OSS, and have tried all three with kernel built-in configurations as well. With the modular configuration, I tried running alsaconf but it couldn't find the "snd" module, so I tried to use some of the configuration i remembered seeing in BLFS-5.1 with regard to /etc/modules.conf. This seemed to get all the right devices loaded, but still the errors with Arts, and XMMS cant access the sound card. I tried killing arts as suggested, as well and running from a terminal. With arts killed, xmms doesn't produce the error but it still doesn't play. I do notice that in the XMMS ALSA configuration that 2 sound cards show up, each yeilding the same bad results. I even verified that alsa detects its own drivers by running alsamixer, which works properly. The "alsactl store" also works during bootup. With LFS-5.1.1 w/BLFS-5.1 I could get sound to work. It works in Slackware 10.1 as well. I even tried to use the BLFS-5.1 instructions for my LFS-6.1.1 build but got the same results. The only unique factors here seem to be udev/hotplug and the Linux-2.6 kernel itself. Does anyone else reproduce this problem? My LFS-6.x builds are very clean and snappy so far except for this annoying little sound thing.
Thanks a bunch!
