I've been having the same problem, however, running the ./snddevices script doesn't do the trick.
I have a Creative Labs Extigy, and I followed the directions at http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/template.php?company=Creative+Labs&card=Soundblaster+Extigy&chip=Extigy&module=usb-audio I compiled soundcore as a module from my kernel (2.6.3), and then followed all the instructions at the site mentioned above, with no luck. I'm running Debian, with a 2.6.3 non-debian kernel. Alsa-utils, alsa-drivers, and alsa-lib are all version 1.0.3 and came from alsa-project.org. Alsa drivers are not enabled in my kernel, while sound(core) is. Nothing that relies on ALSA native seems to work, however OSS emulation works. heres what happens when I try to run alsamixer: alex:/home/alex/download# alsamixer alsamixer: function snd_mixer_load failed: Invalid argument alex:/home/alex/download# and with a "strance -eopen alsamixer" alex:/home/alex/download# strace -eopen alsamixer open("/etc/ld.so.preload", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/etc/ld.so.cache", O_RDONLY) = 3 open("/lib/libncurses.so.5", O_RDONLY) = 3 open("/usr/lib/libasound.so.2", O_RDONLY) = 3 open("/lib/tls/libm.so.6", O_RDONLY) = 3 open("/lib/tls/libdl.so.2", O_RDONLY) = 3 open("/lib/tls/libpthread.so.0", O_RDONLY) = 3 open("/lib/tls/libc.so.6", O_RDONLY) = 3 open("/usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf", O_RDONLY) = 3 open("/dev/snd/controlC0", O_RDONLY) = 3 open("/dev/snd/controlC0", O_RDWR) = 3 open("/dev/snd/controlC0", O_RDONLY) = 3 open("/dev/snd/controlC0", O_RDWR) = 3 alsamixer: function snd_mixer_load failed: Invalid argument alex:/home/alex/download# XMMS and Mplayer also reject playing via ALSA native, while OSS (emulation) works fine. My /proc/asound/cards file seems to be fine as well; alex:/home/alex/alsa-driver-1.0.3# cat /proc/asound/cards 0 [Extigy ]: USB-Audio - Sound Blaster Extigy Creative Technology Ltd. Sound Blaster Extigy at usb-0000:00:08.1-2 alex:/home/alex/alsa-driver-1.0.3# Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this problem? I saw a thread on here from January involving a similiar problem, but never saw a fix. Thanks, Alex On Wed, 3 Mar 2004, Andrei A.
