Hi, I've just upgraded a Dell Inspiron 2600 laptop from Slackware 8.1 to 9.1, and now I can't get alsa to work properly (it used to work). In the 2.4.23 kernel I have "Plug and Play support" and "ISA Plug and Play support" set as a modules and the only things enabled in the sound section of the kernel are "Sound card support" and "OSS sound modules" (both as modules).
The driver/lib/utils packages all build and install without complaints but whenever I try to run amixer or alsamixer I get the following error: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ amixer ALSA lib control.c:654:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL default amixer: Mixer attach default error: No such file or directory running `alsactl store` gives me a similar error: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ alsactl store ALSA lib control.c:654:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL hw:0 alsactl: get_controls:485: snd_ctl_open error: No such file or directory I have tried building the driver/lib/utils from both alsa-0.9.8 and alsa-1.0.0rc2 with the exact same results. Currently, I am working with the alsa 0.9.8 packages. Does anyone know how to fix this error? Thanks, Ryan P.S. I've included the output from lsmod if it helps [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ lsmod Module Size Used by Not tainted uhci 24528 0 (unused) usbcore 59488 1 [uhci] hw_random 2776 0 (unused) i810_rng 2656 0 (unused) snd-intel8x0 17700 0 snd-pcm 57920 0 [snd-intel8x0] snd-timer 13668 0 [snd-pcm] snd-ac97-codec 38392 0 [snd-intel8x0] snd-page-alloc 6260 0 [snd-intel8x0 snd-pcm] snd-mpu401-uart 3152 0 [snd-intel8x0] snd-rawmidi 13184 0 [snd-mpu401-uart] snd-seq-device 3984 0 [snd-rawmidi] snd 30852 0 [snd-intel8x0 snd-pcm snd-timer snd-ac97-codec snd-mpu401-uart snd-rawmidi snd-seq-device] soundcore 3524 0 [snd] ds 6632 1 yenta_socket 10368 1 pcmcia_core 41120 0 [ds yenta_socket] agpgart 23944 6 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials.
