Hi.. after reading about everything google had to offer.. i've come here.. there seem to be some other people having a similar problem.. however i've never found a solution.
problem: my sony vaio notebook (z600lek) has problems playing sounds. it doesn't play anything at all, although it seems not to have any problems when i run "aplay /path/to/some.wav" # aplay pop.wav Playing WAVE 'pop.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Mono BUT: no sound. # amixer Simple mixer control 'Master',0 Capabilities: pvolume pswitch pswitch-joined Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right Limits: Playback 0 - 31 Front Left: Playback 31 [100%] [on] Front Right: Playback 31 [100%] [on] Simple mixer control 'Master Mono',0 Capabilities: pvolume pvolume-joined pswitch pswitch-joined Playback channels: Mono Limits: Playback 0 - 31 Mono: Playback 31 [100%] [on] Simple mixer control 'PCM',0 Capabilities: pvolume pswitch pswitch-joined Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right Limits: Playback 0 - 31 Front Left: Playback 31 [100%] [on] Front Right: Playback 31 [100%] [on] # cat /proc/asound/oss/sndstat Sound Driver:3.8.1a-980706 (ALSA v0.9.0rc2 emulation code) Kernel: Linux shakti.blocksberg.com 2.4.19-gentoo-r7 #5 SMP Tue Jul 2 13:47:14 CEST 2002 i686 Config options: 0 Installed drivers: Type 10: ALSA emulation Card config: Yamaha DS-XG PCI (YMF744) at 0xcc868000, irq 9 Audio devices: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG Synth devices: 0: OPL3 FM Midi devices: 0: MPU-401 (UART) Timers: 7: system timer Mixers: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG what does "NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG" mean ? is this the problem ? /etc/modules.conf: alias snd-card-0 snd-ymfpci ## OSS/Free portion alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 ## # OSS/Free portion - card #1 alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss alias /dev/mixer snd-mixer-oss alias /dev/dsp snd-pcm-oss alias /dev/midi snd-seq-oss # lsmod Module Size Used by Not tainted snd-ymfpci 42020 0 snd-opl3-lib 5536 0 [snd-ymfpci] snd-hwdep 3616 0 [snd-opl3-lib] snd-ac97-codec 23620 0 [snd-ymfpci] snd-pcm 51424 0 [snd-ymfpci] snd-timer 11072 0 [snd-opl3-lib snd-pcm] snd-mpu401-uart 2896 0 [snd-ymfpci] snd-rawmidi 13024 0 [snd-mpu401-uart] snd-seq-device 3840 0 [snd-opl3-lib snd-rawmidi] snd 27016 0 [snd-ymfpci snd-opl3-lib snd-hwdep snd-ac97-codec snd-pcm snd-timer snd-mpu401-uart snd-rawmidi snd-seq-device] soundcore 3908 3 [snd] alsa was configured --with-oss=yes --with-sequencer=yes --with-isapnp=yes --with-cards=all any ideas ?? i've heard that everything should work with alsa-0.5 but.. as far as i know, versions get better/support more cards when the version number rises :) -- Regards, Justin ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Alsa-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
