If i try to run /etc/init.d/alsasound localhost linux # /etc/init.d/alsasound start * Loading ALSA modules ... * Could not detect custom ALSA settings. Loading all detected alsa drivers. * Loading: snd_via82xx ... [ ok ] * Loading: snd_via82xx_modem ... [ ok ] * Loading: snd-seq-oss ... [ ok ] * Loading: snd-pcm-oss ... [ ok ] * ERROR: Failed to load necessary drivers [ ok ] * Restoring Mixer Levels ... * No mixer config in /var/lib/alsa/asound.state, you have to unmute you [ ok ] alsa-driver is not recommended so i'm avoiding it. Is that my only option to try to fix this? tnx Adam
