I am not sure, but, do you have your soundcard
working now ? These errors happen when your soundcard
is not working. There are many ways to make it work,
define, other than drakes. ( like /etc/conf.modules,
or was it /etc/modules.conf , you can add a " alias
sound emu10k1)
I believe that your modules are not installed while
you are trying to run these apps. before running a
mixer or so, open a terminal window and type "lsmod".
This shows you the installed modules. Check if you
have emu10k1 , soundcore, ac97. If they are there and
you still have troubles, then I advice you to go to
opensource.creative.com and get the latest sblive
driver, and install it on your system. (it is really
easy and there are docs about it, if you want I can
send you some.)
If you dont see those modules I said, with lsmod, try
at the terminal
modprobe soundcore
modprobe emu10k1
if you did not get any error messages, they are
installed correctly, check with lsmod.
if these modprobe stuff corrects your troubles, just
add these modprobe lines to the end of the file
/etc/rc.d/rc.local
so they shall be run automatically at every boot.
Also, just in case, if there is not one, add
alias sound emu10k1
to the /etc/conf.modules file. (or was it
modules.conf)
----------
but, honestly, these are the detail things you can do.
I advice you try to run sndconfig in a terminal
window, before doing these manually, because it will
do these automatically.
ps: module means sort of driver.
goodluck.
