Hey ho. I recently upgraded my Slackware distribution and so had to re-install alsa (I'm using the latest stable packages, including 0.5.12 drivers). I've had problems getting things to work since.
I see that there is no /proc/asound/dev directory created after loading all of the relevant modules. Naturally, this breaks things. I think that my problem is similar to the problem reported in <URL:http://www.alsa-project.org/archive/alsa-user/msg10744.html>. Like that author (Guillaume Rousse ), I have devfs support enabled in the kernel. Like that author, I do not have all of the /dev/snd entries. Unlike that author, I do not have *any* of the /dev/snd entries (or /dev/sound, for that matter). Here's my modules loaded. Module Size Used by snd-card-als4000 2192 0 (unused) snd-als4000 12880 0 [snd-card-als4000] snd-pcm 30304 0 [snd-als4000] snd-mixer 22560 0 [snd-als4000] snd-opl3 4688 0 [snd-card-als4000] snd-hwdep 3152 0 [snd-opl3] snd-timer 8784 0 [snd-pcm snd-opl3] snd-mpu401-uart 2720 0 [snd-card-als4000 snd-als4000] snd-rawmidi 9696 0 [snd-mpu401-uart] snd-seq-device 3840 0 [snd-rawmidi] snd 32912 1 [snd-card-als4000 snd-als4000 snd-pcm snd-mixer snd-opl3 snd-hwdep snd-timer snd-mpu401-uart snd-rawmidi snd-seq-device] isa-pnp 27728 0 (autoclean) via-rhine 10304 1 soundcore 3824 3 [snd] ppp_deflate 39136 0 (unused) ppp_async 6480 0 (unused) ppp_generic 18544 0 [ppp_deflate ppp_async] slip 8320 0 (unused) lp 5232 0 (unused) parport_pc 19408 1 parport 23904 1 [lp parport_pc] Here's the contents of /proc/asound. root@phiwumbda:/usr/src/sound/alsa/alsa-driver-0.5.12# ls /proc/asound/ 0 cards hwdep pcm sndstat version card1 devices oss-devices seq timers Please help. I'm completely unfamiliar with devfs (it was standard in the distribution kernel). I can try to re-compile the kernel without devfs support, but that seems the wrong way out.
