Ok I don a google search for devfs and now know
that i have not configured the kernal with DEVFS device system .
So i went on and run ./snddevices for the /dev/snd/* dir & files to be made. Then shutdown & restarted my system.
All is working now alsamixer , aplay , ect.. very good. Thank, to alsa sound drivers.
I was not getting sound out form my cd-wr because when i configure cdroast it quit sending sound to my sound card untill i installed alsa-drivers , ect.. Good job men.
Thank's ALSA programmer's
God bless all \ David H.

Thanks Eric Dantan Rzewnicki for the reply
And sorry that i have not replyed sooner been gone 3 days.
I do not have /dev/snd/* dir. at all so thay must of not been installed for me when runing
/configure --with-cards=cmipci --with-sequencer=yes --with-kernal=linux-2.4 ;make;make install
I think I will have to run ./snddevices for the /dev/snd/ dir. to be made. But..
Like I said I have good sound now that I installed alsa drivers just no alsamixer , aplay , ect...
and am not sure if i have devfs or if i run
./snddevices that it will kill what i have now or not???
And if I do run ./snddevices now that I have
every thing installed. Will i have to reinstall alsa-utils , ect.... again ??
Thank's and God Bless All\ David
I'm not sure about devfs since I don't use it ...
for me I think ./sndevices was run as part of make install ...
However I then had to chown <userid.userid> /dev/snd/* before anything would work.
Hope that helps.

I have it all working and is playing sound good on redhat9 with kernel linux-2.4.20-18.9 But...
When I try to run alsamixer.. after installing alsa-driver-0.9.6, alsa-libs-0.9.6, alsa-oss-0.9.6, and alsa-utils-0.9.6 for RH 9 (from source) I get this error:
alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory
Now i have read here at the alsa-list that to get them to work is to run ./snddevices in the topdir of alsa-driver if you do not have /dev/snd/* files. But...
The Introduction on the C-Media CMI8738 say's NB. If you are using drivers before 0.9.4 then you need to run
./snddevices
If you use devfs then you should not run the snddevices script
So im alittal confussed here. this is the first time alsa-drivers have been on this box. Im not sur about devfs how can i see if i have devfs??
Like I sead my sound is working good with kmix ,KsCD ect.. But I would like to beabal to use all of the alsa-utils
If I do run ./snddevices is this going to kill my sound????
Thank's & god Bless all\ David
