I have this in the .../alsa-driver-0.9.0beta12/INSTALL file: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- DEVFS support ============= The ALSA driver fully supports the devfs extension. You should add lines below to your devfsd.conf file: LOOKUP snd MODLOAD ACTION snd REGISTER ^sound/.* PERMISSIONS root.audio 660 REGISTER ^snd/.* PERMISSIONS root.audio 660 Warning: These lines assume that you have the audio group in your system. Otherwise replace audio word with another group name (root for example). ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- > I can load snd-seq-oss: > # modprobe snd-seq-oss > # lsmod > Module Size Used by Tainted: P > snd-emu10k1-synth 4384 0 (autoclean) (unused) I think this is an important module for the wavetable synthesizer... > snd-emux-synth 26368 0 (autoclean) [snd-emu10k1-synth] > snd-seq-midi-emul 4912 0 (autoclean) [snd-emux-synth] > snd-seq-virmidi 2872 0 (autoclean) [snd-emux-synth] > snd-seq-oss 25984 0 (unused) > ppp_deflate 42240 0 (autoclean) > bsd_comp 4544 0 (autoclean) > ppp_async 6560 0 (autoclean) > ppp_generic 19880 0 (autoclean) [ppp_deflate bsd_comp ppp_async] > slhc 5056 0 (autoclean) [ppp_generic] > sr_mod 15160 0 (autoclean) (unused) > snd-seq-midi 3424 0 (unused) > snd-seq-midi-event 3160 0 [snd-seq-virmidi snd-seq-oss snd-seq-midi] > snd-seq 37228 2 [snd-emux-synth snd-seq-midi-emul > snd-seq-virmidi snd-seq-oss snd-seq-midi snd-seq-midi-event] > snd-emu10k1 58720 0 (autoclean) [snd-emu10k1-synth] > snd-hwdep 3616 0 (autoclean) [snd-emu10k1] > snd-rawmidi 12256 0 (autoclean) [snd-seq-virmidi snd-seq-midi > snd-emu10k1] > snd-seq-device 4128 0 (autoclean) [snd-emu10k1-synth snd-emux-synth > snd-seq-oss snd-seq-midi snd-seq snd-emu10k1 snd-rawmidi] > snd-ac97-codec 22976 0 (autoclean) [snd-emu10k1] > snd-pcm 49600 0 (autoclean) [snd-emu10k1] > snd-timer 9728 0 (autoclean) [snd-seq snd-pcm] > snd-util-mem 1424 0 (autoclean) [snd-emux-synth snd-emu10k1] > snd 27048 0 [snd-emux-synth snd-seq-virmidi snd-seq-oss > snd-seq-midi snd-seq-midi-event snd-seq snd-emu10k1 snd-hwdep snd-rawmidi > snd-seq-device snd-ac97-codec snd-pcm snd-timer snd-util-mem] > soundcore 4068 6 [snd] > > > /var/log/messages > jun 5 11:06:26 localhost alsasound: Starting sound driver: snd-emu10k1 > Jun 5 11:06:26 localhost kernel: lp0: compatibility mode > Jun 5 11:06:26 localhost modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module snd-card-1 > jun 5 11:06:28 localhost alsasound: done > jun 5 11:06:28 localhost alsasound: /dev/sequencer: No such file or directory > jun 5 11:06:28 localhost alsasound: modprobe: post-install snd-seq failed > Jun 5 11:06:28 localhost modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module snd-card-1 > jun 5 11:06:29 localhost rc: Lancement de alsasound : succeeded > I understand "/dev/sequencer: No such file or directory" : same problem as above. > I have no idea why "modprobe: Can't locate module snd-card-1".
