> did you run the "snddevices" script from the alsa-driver directory ?
That worked for insalling alsa, but I have two more questions: This is the relevant portion of /etc/modules.conf: # ALSA portion alias char-major-116 snd alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1 # module options should go here # OSS/Free portion alias char-major-14 soundcore alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 # 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 Now, I believe there is some permissions or module problem. If I start xmms as a normal user, then everything is detected, the file 'plays' but no sound is heard. If I run xmms as root, then everything is fine. And then, after I run xmms as root, I can then run xmms as a normal user and everything is ok. So I think it may be a module loading problem, but I am not sure. Any ideas? My second question is related to alsamixer. Is there any way to set alsamixer settings permanently, so they survive a reboot? Thank you in advance for any suggestions, Norbert. -- _______________________________________________ Get your free email from http://www.graffiti.net Powered by Outblaze ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: VM Ware With VMware you can run multiple operating systems on a single machine.
