I compiled and installed ALSA 0.5.12 against a 2.4.17 kernel. VIA686 chipset. Problem is - when I try amixer in order to unmute, I get:
[Tue Feb 19] edj:~$ amixer set Master 80% unmute amixer: Mixer 0/0 open error: Invalid argument No matter what argument I try - amixer groups, etc, same error. Only ones that work are --help and --version: [Tue Feb 19] edj:~$ amixer -v amixer version 0.5.10 I followed directions in editing /etc/modules ( I think), and sorry to post so much, but if someone could go over the following, I'd appreciate it. Something's misconfigured. Thanks a lot. -- Ed Jabbour [root@achilles edj]# lsmod | grep snd snd-pcm-oss 18560 0 (autoclean) snd-pcm-plugin 14832 0 (autoclean) [snd-pcm-oss] snd-mixer-oss 4928 0 (autoclean) [snd-pcm-oss] snd-seq-midi 3152 0 (unused) snd-seq-midi-event 3040 0 [snd-seq-midi] snd-seq 41408 0 [snd-seq-midi snd-seq-midi-event] snd-card-via686a 6864 0 snd-pcm 30624 0 [snd-pcm-oss snd-pcm-plugin snd-card-via686a] snd-timer 8960 0 [snd-seq snd-pcm] snd-mpu401-uart 2304 0 [snd-card-via686a] snd-rawmidi 10240 0 [snd-seq-midi snd-mpu401-uart] snd-seq-device 3776 0 [snd-seq-midi snd-seq snd-rawmidi] snd-ac97-codec 23520 0 [snd-card-via686a] snd-mixer 27504 0 [snd-mixer-oss snd-ac97-codec] snd 33072 1 [snd-pcm-oss snd-pcm-plugin snd-mixer-oss snd-seq-midi snd-seq-midi-event snd-seq snd-card-via686a snd-pcm snd-timer snd-mpu401-uart snd-rawmidi snd-seq-device snd-ac97-codec snd-mixer] soundcore 3568 4 [snd] /proc/asound/sndstat: Sound Driver:3.8.2-980706 (ALSA v0.5.12 emulation code) Kernel: Linux achilles 2.4.17 #4 Mon Feb 18 16:20:42 EST 2002 i686 Config options: 0 Installed drivers: Type 10: ALSA emulation Card config: VIA 82C686A at 0xdc00, irq 11 Audio devices: 0: VIA 82C686A (DUPLEX) Synth devices: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG Midi devices: 0: MPU-401 (UART) Timers: 7: system timer Mixers: 0: 0x49434511 ICE -- _______________________________________________ Alsa-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
