Tonight I moved my computer to a new desk, and in the process shut it off. After restoring all the connections, I find that I can't seem to get the sound up.
In my boot messages I see my SBLive card is detected just fine. I some time ago heard that the SBLive driver was weird, and that to connect up to speakers, one had to not use the speaker port. Is this true, and what is the proper SBLive card port? I am currently connected to the green port, as that is where I believe it was when I removed it. I tried running alsamixer to check the speaker volumes, but I get a complaint: alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory. This does not sound good, but I am not sure what is missing. I recently unstalled a big chunk of the Gnome desktop, which I rarely use, and maybe I lost some part of ALSA, but I have no idea what. Maybe the snd_ctl_open gives a clue? And yes, both the computer and the speakers are plugged in to the power. Rob -- Linux: For the people, by the people.
