Running Gentoo on a Dell 4550, 2.6G P4 with Sound Blaster Live. Boot messages report modules load normally, but sounds will not play. Initially acpi was enabled in the kernel, so I disabled it with acpi=off pci=noacpi in grub. "lspci" reports the card on IRQ 11. I've even moved the card to another PCI slot - no help.
These are the error messages. Playing WAVE '/usr/share/sounds/gnome-stones/get_diamond.wav' : Unsigned 8 bit, Rate 22050 Hz, Mono ALSA lib pcm_hw.c:523:(snd_pcm_hw_drain) SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_DRAIN failed: Input/output error Playing WAVE '/usr/share/sounds/gnibbles/reverse.wav' : Unsigned 8 bit, Rate 8000 Hz, Mono aplay: pcm_write:1084: write error: Input/output error Any advise?
