Hi, I'm having difficulty installing alsa on my Sony R505 laptop. I'm trying to install it because currently, xmms plays music with jumps, unless I move the USB mouse around constantly. I tried the OSS and artsD drivers. I tried installing the OSS driver from their site, but it gives an error when I run osstest (says Input/Output error on /dev/dsp0 device).
So alsa (which was my first choice anyway), is now my only choice. My laptop has the Intel i830 sound chipset. When I install alsa according to the directions at: http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/template.php3?company=Intel&card=i820&chip=i820&module=intel8x0 and using the most current stable versions of driver, libs, and utils, I get an error: When I get to the modprobe step, I get: modprobe: Can't locate module snd-intel8x0 and when I run alsamixer, I get: alsamixer: failed to open mixer #0/#0: No such file or directory And I don't know how to test if alsa is working or not. When I start xmms, there is no option in the output plugins section for alsa (it just lists OSS, aRts driver, esound). Can anyone please help? -John ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: OSDN - Tired of that same old cell phone?
