Re: [gentoo-user] Can't get sound

[Tito Valentin]

Thierry, Here is what my sound card is based on lspci: 00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 02) I can add the card manually when I do: # modprobe snd But after that, if I play something I get the following error: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ xmms & [1] 15110 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ Message: device: default Message: fmt 5, channels: 2 ** WARNING **: alsa_get_mixer(): Attaching to mixer hw:0 failed: No such device ALSA lib confmisc.c:670:(snd_func_card_driver) cannot find card '0' ALSA lib conf.c:3479:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_card_driver returned error: No such device ALSA lib confmisc.c:391:(snd_func_concat) error evaluating strings ALSA lib conf.c:3479:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_concat returned error: No such device ALSA lib confmisc.c:1070:(snd_func_refer) error evaluating name ALSA lib conf.c:3479:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_refer returned error: No such device ALSA lib conf.c:3947:(snd_config_expand) Evaluate error: No such device ALSA lib pcm.c:2146:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM default ** WARNING **: alsa_setup(): Failed to open pcm device (default): No such device xmms-mad-Message: failed to open audio output: ALSA 1.2.10 output plugin Thierry de Coulon wrote: On Sunday 14 May 2006 16.21, Tito Valentin wrote: Hello All, I can't seem to get sound working.

Thanks, Tito Hello, I don't know if I missed a previous message, but you give no clue as to what hardware you have. It seems you have no sound card installed. Either you did not compile the appropriate module, or it is not getting loaded. You should load the module for you card manualy (e.g. modprobe <your_sound_module>), chechk that it works then add it in /etc/modules.autoload.d/<your kernel>.
