Hi alsa users,
I am trying to get a mentioned card to work. unable to find the error.
So I downloaded the alsa-driver-1.0.9.tar.bz2 archive to have the latest
drivers.
lspci:
0000:00:02.7 Multimedia audio controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS]
Sound Controller (rev a0)
the suse hardware config tool says it is the following model:
Model: Fujitsu Siemens Sound Controller
Device identifier (spec): 69699
Device identifier: 94226
# lsmod | grep snd
snd_intel8x0 37184 0
snd_ac97_codec 83452 1 snd_intel8x0
snd_pcm 97412 2 snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec
snd_timer 29828 1 snd_pcm
snd 60260 4 snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm,snd_timer
soundcore 13664 1 snd
snd_page_alloc 14084 2 snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm
but when I start alsamixer I get:
alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: Permission denied
When running it through strace, grepping for open I see this:
# strace alsamixer 2>&1 | grep open
open("/etc/ld.so.cache", O_RDONLY) = 3

I chmod it to 777 just to make sure that not the file permissions are the
culprit.
what do I miss, I searched google for my problem but most of the things I
found people with other soundcards that only mixed up the permissions
somewhere.
also tried different combinations of the parameter, especially the buggy_irq,
and xbox.
in another post I found someone with the same card. he stated that the alsa
and oss drivers do not work together, therefore I only use the alsa drivers.
Any hint how to proceed?
kind regards
sebastian
