Hi, I use a Toshiba Tecra 9100, running Gentoo.
Since I got it, I've been trying to install alsa without success. I always get the following error, with any of the player I try to use: ALSA lib pcm_params.c:2096:(snd_pcm_hw_refine_slave) Slave PCM not usable error on snd_pcm_hw_par/ams_any alsaplayer says: >alsaplayer ALSA lib pcm_params.c:2096:(snd_pcm_hw_refine_slave) Slave PCM not usable error on snd_pcm_hw_par/ams_any Unavailable hw params: ACCESS: ALL FORMAT: ALL SUBFORMAT: ALL SAMPLE_BITS: ALL FRAME_BITS: ALL CHANNELS: [0 10000] RATE: [4000 4294967295] PERIOD_TIME: ALL PERIOD_SIZE: ALL PERIOD_BYTES: ALL PERIODS: ALL BUFFER_TIME: ALL BUFFER_SIZE: ALL BUFFER_BYTES: ALL TICK_TIME: ALL ALSA lib pcm_params.c:2096:(snd_pcm_hw_refine_slave) Slave PCM not usable error on snd_pcm_hw_par/ams_any Unavailable hw params: ACCESS: ALL FORMAT: ALL SUBFORMAT: ALL SAMPLE_BITS: ALL FRAME_BITS: ALL CHANNELS: [0 10000] RATE: [4000 4294967295] PERIOD_TIME: ALL PERIOD_SIZE: ALL PERIOD_BYTES: ALL PERIODS: ALL BUFFER_TIME: ALL BUFFER_SIZE: ALL BUFFER_BYTES: ALL TICK_TIME: ALL failed to configure output device...trying OSS alsaplayer interrupted by signal 2 >lsmod Module Size Used by Tainted: PF sd_mod 11212 0 (autoclean) (unused) vpnmod 189984 -1 (unused) lp 7328 0 (autoclean) (unused) ide-cd 33132 0 (autoclean) sr_mod 17304 0 (autoclean) (unused) cdrom 32832 0 (autoclean) [ide-cd sr_mod] snd-intel8x0 19332 0 snd-ac97-codec 41544 0 [snd-intel8x0] snd-mpu401-uart 3808 0 [snd-intel8x0] snd-rawmidi 14784 0 [snd-mpu401-uart] snd-seq-device 4352 0 [snd-rawmidi] snd-pcm-oss 40228 0 snd-pcm 64608 0 [snd-intel8x0 snd-pcm-oss] snd-page-alloc 6612 0 [snd-intel8x0 snd-pcm] snd-timer 15780 0 [snd-pcm] snd-mixer-oss 13688 0 [snd-pcm-oss] snd 32068 0 [snd-intel8x0 snd-ac97-codec snd-mpu401-uart snd-rawmidi snd-seq-device snd-pcm-oss snd-pcm snd-timer snd-mixer-oss] soundcore 4004 3 [snd] rtc 7388 0 (autoclean) >cat /etc/modules.d/alsa # Alsa 0.9.X kernel modules' configuration file. # $Header: /home/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/media-sound/alsa-driver/files/alsa-modules.conf-rc,v 1.1 2002/12/21 06:31:52 agenkin Exp $ # ALSA portion alias char-major-116 snd # OSS/Free portion alias char-major-14 soundcore ## ## IMPORTANT: ## You need to customise this section for your specific sound card(s) ## and then run `update-modules' command. ## Read alsa-driver's INSTALL file in /usr/share/doc for more info. ## ## ALSA portion alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0 #alias snd-card-1 snd-intel8x0 #pre-remove snd-intel8x0 rmmod snd-mixer-oss snd-pcm-oss #post-install snd-intel8x0 modprobe snd-pcm-oss snd-mixer-oss #options snd-intel8x0 enable=1 ## OSS/Free portion alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 #alias sound-slot-1 snd-card-1 ## # OSS/Free portion - 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 ## OSS/Free portion - card #2 #alias sound-service-1-0 snd-mixer-oss #alias sound-service-1-3 snd-pcm-oss #alias sound-service-1-12 snd-pcm-oss alias /dev/mixer snd-mixer-oss alias /dev/dsp snd-pcm-oss alias /dev/midi snd-seq-oss options snd snd_device_mode=0666 snd_device_gid=18 snd_device_uid=0 #options snd-intel8x0 snd_index=0 snd_id=Intel snd_ac97_clock=44100 # Set this to the correct number of cards. options snd cards_limit=1 lspci says this about the audio controller: 00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corp. 82801CA/CAM AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 02) Subsystem: Toshiba America Info Systems: Unknown device 0001 Control: I/O+ Mem- BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- Status: Cap- 66Mhz- UDF- FastB2B+ ParErr- DEVSEL=medium >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- Latency: 0 Interrupt: pin B routed to IRQ 11 Region 0: I/O ports at 1400 [size=256] Region 1: I/O ports at 1040 [size=64] What else do you need? Any idea of what's going on? I've been trying to look for this error on the web without success.
