I've been trying to get ALSA to work on Gentoo for the past couple of days. I've got the modules to load, but I am still getting an error when I try to do anything. Amixer says "No such device" while mythtv reports "cannot open /dev/dsp". When I first installed /alsa, I had a symlink in place at /dev/dsp in a misguided attempt to fix what I assumed was a bug in mythtv (it's setup asks what audio device to use, but apparently only accepts /dev/dsp. I had compiled the kernel with support for the SB, which created a file /dev/dspW, so I linked the one to the other). I have since removed the symlink & replaced it using: # mknod --mode=660 /dev/dsp c 14 3; chown root.audio /dev/dsp but I still get the same error message
I am running Gentoo 1.4 rc1, alsa 0.9.0 RC6, with a SBLive. goo alsa-lib # lsmod Module Size Used by Tainted: P snd-pcm-oss 39300 0 (autoclean) (unused) snd-pcm 67936 0 (autoclean) [snd-pcm-oss] snd-timer 12776 0 (autoclean) [snd-pcm] snd-mixer-oss 13624 0 (autoclean) [snd-pcm-oss] snd 31692 0 (autoclean) [snd-pcm-oss snd-pcm snd-timer snd-mixer-oss] soundcore 3940 0 (autoclean) [snd] NVdriver 1067808 10 (autoclean) Thanks!
