Graham,
sorry I cannot help you.... however I cannot even get the GUI for the
Alsamixer to come up. Did you have to create some kind of a configuration
file (alsa.conf or alsasound.conf) to get it going? Or did you just compile
the 3 tarballs and then just execute "alsamixer"?
Thanks,
Chris

Hi all,

I have installed the latest CVS version of the ALSA drivers (and
libraries, etc) on my LinuxPPC system (1999 Powerbook G3) running kernel
v2.4.19pre7 (v2.4.18 has same effect). I have got everything to compile,
and the modules load and operate without errors, but I get no sound. I
saw warnings that by default everything is muted by the driver, so I
loaded alsamixer to try and sort it out.

Alsamixer gives me the following sliders:

  Master, Line, CD, Mic, Mic Boost, PC Speaker, Capture, Beep 

For some reason there is no PCM slider, as there is in the OSS driver.

I am able to move the master, pc speaker, capture and beep sliders up
and down using the arrow keys. I cannot however move the other four
sliders - they are permanently stuck on zero.

Could this be why I get silence all the time? Can anyone suggest a
solution?

If I try using an OSS based mixer, I get to move the four sliders, but I
still get no sound.

Regards,
Graham
