Hello,
I have been trying to set up ALSA for my sound card
(via686), i think my problem is on /etc/modules.conf..
I'm using a Debian Woody w/ kernel 2.4.18-k7...
Take a look to my log:
-----------------------------
Message error:
Sound server informational message:
Error while initializing the sound driver:
device: default can't be opened for playback (No such
file or directory)
The sound server will continue, using the null output
device.
------------------------------
I did:
#apt-get install alsa-source
debconf ask some questions about my card (in my case
via686)
i didn't enable debugging neither isa-pnp support (in
my case is not an isa card)
i run:
#uname -r to know what my kernel is.
#apt-get install alsa-modules-2.4.18-k7
#apt-get install kernel-headers-2.4.18-k7
If you need headers....
#apt-get install alsa-source
Now unpack the source code:
#cd /usr/src
#tar xvzf alsa-driver.tar.gz
Next, compile the modules and build the Debian package
of them:
#cd /usr/src/modules/alsa-driver/
#./debian/rules KSRC=/usr/src/kernel-headers-2.4.18-k7
KVERS=2.4.18-k7 KDREV=2.4.18-5 binary-modules
-- I explain this line:
KSRC=the place where headers are.
KVERS=run command uname -r
KDREV=dpkg -l kernel-image-2.4.18-k7
su -
password:
dpkg -i /usr/src/modules/alsa-modules-*
Note:
alsa-source versions below 0.9.0rc5-2 have a bug in
it, it installs the modules into /lib/modules/alsa. If
this happens to you please mv /lib/modules/alsa/*
/lib/modules/<kernel version>/alsa/. and run depmod -A
before proceeding, i.e.:
mv /lib/modules/alsa/* /lib/modules/2.4.18-k7/alsa/.
depmod -A
SETTING UP THINGS
#apt-get install alsa-utils
#cp /usr/share/doc/alsa-base/examples/modules-0.9.conf
/etc/alsa/modutils/0.9
#ln -s /etc/alsa/modutils/0.9 /etc/modutils/alsa
Edit /etc/alsa/alsa-base.conf :
# This is a configuration file for alsa-base.
# Define true if you want the OSS compatibility layer
# to be automatically loaded as well
startosslayer=true
# Define true if you want to unload alsa modules
before
# your system suspneds. This is currently useful if
your
# machine is hanged up after resume.
force_stop_modules_before_suspend=false
# Uncomment if you always want to stop alsa modules
forcibly in
# /etc/init.d/alsa stop or restart by killing all of
running
# applications which use sound devices.
ALSA_KILL_MODE="force"
Edit the /etc/modutils/alsa :

Checking my soundcore:
#modinfo soundcore

Set :
#chmod a+rw /dev/dsp /dev/mixer /dev/sequencer
/dev/midi
Test:
#modprobe snd-via686;modprobe snd-pcm-oss;modprobe
snd-mixer-oss;modprobe snd-seq-oss
*** Error :
#alsamixer
alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default:
No such file or directory
To solve this problem, i decided to run :
#apt-get install aumix
#apt-get install gamix
I am going for reboot...
it didn't work.....
what else could i do ?
