What kind of machine are you running on? You might want to install alsa-base and alsa-utils if they are not. You could also run "alsaconf" to detect and configure the sound card.
Are the relevant modules loaded? I have the following modules loaded on my 12" powerbook G4. # lsmod | grep snd snd_powermac 44304 2 snd_pcm_oss 68136 1 snd_mixer_oss 23264 2 snd_pcm_oss snd_pcm 119800 2 snd_powermac,snd_pcm_oss snd_page_alloc 13480 1 snd_pcm snd_timer 29348 1 snd_pcm snd 67800 5 snd_powermac,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer soundcore 11812 3 snd To load these modules automatically, I created the following file. # cat /etc/modutils/sound alias char-major-14 soundcore alias sound-slot-0 dmasound_pmac alias char-major-14-3 dmasound_pmac alias /dev/dsp dmasound_pmac alias sound-service-0-0 i2c-keywest alias char-major-14-0 i2c-keywest alias /dev/mixer i2c-keywest Weiqun On Sat, Jan 01, 2005 at 01:52:41PM +0800, William Xuuu wrote: > Hi, guys~ > > An annoying problem, the mixer won't work at all.
