Hi. I'm running Debian testing. This morning I aptitude dist-upgrade'ed and now I do not have working sound.
Unfortunately I do not really have any idea of how to debug this. Can someone suggest some things I can check out? I noticed that /dev/dsp and /dev/mixer are missing. Should they necessarily be there? Also, I'm using OSS, not ALSA (I know, I'm a caveman... it's just because I had trouble getting ALSA to work long ago and never had the free time or compelling need to switch). Also, my kernel is a custom 2.6.10, running in 32-bit compat mode on an AMD64 proc, w/ integrated audio (though none of that should matter, because sound worked just fine yesterday). My only other clues so far are that if I start aumix, I get the error message: aumix: error opening mixer and if I start up xmms, I get a popup window saying "Couldn't open audio. Please check that: your soundcard is configured properly, you have the correct output plugin selected, no other program is blocking the sound card." (I'm pretty sure the SC is configured, as it was working fine yesterday. The output plugin is correct - again it hasn't changed since it was working yesterday - though it seems to depend on /dev/dsp and /dev/mixer. As for the blocking, I'm not certain how to check that - there are no lockfiles in /var/lock/.) Thanks in advance. -- Peace, Aaron Maxwell - http://redsymbol.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
