Hi list,
This is about my struggle to make my Trust 514DX soundcard work with
Linux. This is expected to be supported in Linux [alsa-project.org] and
I have read other testimonials on the net.
To cut a long story short, the card worked in Windows. It gives
fantastic sound output with DVDs and other suitable audios but I'd
rather have it working on my Gentoo desktop where I have made everything
else work so far. I admit that I have never had to manually set
anything alsa/oss as all my previous soundcards worked very easily with
default settings of the modules. Also, I feel that if I posted
everything that I have done so far, the mail shall be really long. But
the following may help to understand the problem.
Alsa is started as a service on my comp. I thought it may just be that a
newer-than-in-kernel code may help. The error that I have, from say
Mplayer, is as follows.
.............
Checking audio filter chain for 48000Hz/2ch/s16le -> 48000Hz/2ch/s16le...
AF_pre: 48000Hz/2ch/s16le
[AO OSS] audio_setup: Can't open audio device /dev/dsp: No such file or
directory
alsa-init: 1 soundcard found, using: default
ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:819:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
alsa-init: playback open error: No such file or directory
............
1. Can you please help me understand why the /dev/dsp* aren't created
at all?
2. Can I expect to continue using aumix once the whole thing is set
up correctly? [I dont mind using alsamixer though]
Please reply.
Thank you,
Rohit
