I've been working steadily at this now for two days and am just about fed up. Here's the problem refined:
I am running Fedora Core 1 and have just recompiled the 2.6 test 9 kernel to include ALSA. Prior to compiling the kernel I also installed the alsa utils and the alsa libs. I have an NVIDIA NForce 2 motherboard and am using the onboard sound (I have the i810 modules for alsa included too in the kernel) Firstly under no conditions can I get anything to come out of xmms, and once I applied the 0.9.2 alsa-xmms plugin I can't even start xmms anymore.... [EMAIL PROTECTED] alsa-xmms-0.9.12]# xmms Cannot load alsa library: libasound.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Now the weird thing is that if I stick a cd in.... it plays perfectly. Great sound. Now back to my rants.... If I try amixer I get the error: [EMAIL PROTECTED] amixer]# ./amixer amixer: Mixer attach default error: No such file or directory If I try the alsa mixer I get: alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory If I try: [EMAIL PROTECTED] alsactl]# ./alsactl alsactl: Specify command... So I'm assuming that alsactl works at least if nothing else does. Now if I try those commands you gave me I get this: [EMAIL PROTECTED] alsactl]# /usr/sbin/alsactl -f /etc/asound.state store /usr/sbin/alsactl: save_state:1061: No soundcards found... And if I try: [EMAIL PROTECTED] alsactl]# /usr/sbin/alsactl restore /usr/sbin/alsactl restore /usr/sbin/alsactl: load_state:1148: Cannot find soundcard '/usr/sbin/alsactl'... And the whole time this is going on I'm listening to a CD so I don't understand how it can't detect I've got a sound card.... GAH! Can someone please help me figure this one out? Its driving me into a sleep deprived frenzy. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.
