Hi, I searched linuxquestions.org and the last year of this list but could not find anything relevant.
Problem: alsa sound not working. alsaconf is not working either. It says no pci cards found, and scanning for legacy ISA cards is not useful, I don't have those. So automatic configuration does not work. Symptoms: alsamixer says: alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory Additional info: /dev/dsp points to /dev/sound/dsp (which seems to be ok) I am a member of groups cdrom, audio and video See attached the output of lspci, lsmod and my /etc/modules and /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base My hardware: Asus p4p800 deluxe Soundblaster live! The funny thing is that I can hear sounds just fine by playing a flash animation with sound, eg the casini one found on http://www.nasa.gov/home/ So the hardware works. However I cannot get arts to work. Also xmms does not work using the alsa output driver I guess I am still missing some alsa-specific configuration stuff. Thanks for any ideas, John
