Hi all, Kernel: 2.4.21-ben2 Hardware: Powerbook3.5 (version = 3.2)
Actually this mail is on 2 problems: 1. The sound problem with xboing and 2. The general sound problems I have here. Details: When trying to start xboing I get this: $xboing -sound XBoing - Please wait [ ... ] User, initialising xboing ... No access to sound device: Permission denied Can't init soundIt library. yech.. XBoing - Warning: Audio unavailable or not supported. Is soundIt part of the kernel? Or is it a loadable module? At any rate, I found it nowhere on my system. >From what I learned so far, it's probably a driver xboing is looking for: I found something like that here: http://www.lookbuysell.net/web/astroids/sast1.5/soundIt/ And this page (I definitely don't understand what they're talking about there .. ): <http://cvs.kitenet.net/joey-cvs/public/packages/xboing/audio/Attic/soundIt.h?hideattic=0> And: I have generally a problem with sound here which does not get loaded after booting: /etc/modutils/sound : --------------------------- alias char-major-14 soundcore alias sound-slot-0 dmasound_pmac alias char-major-14-3 dmasound_pmac alias /dev/dsp dmasound_pmac -------------------------------- I didn't add the i2c-keywest driver there because it's part of the kernel (config file below). This is an excerpt of what I have in my kernel .config file (full length on <http://www.geocities.com/wolfgangpfeiffer/config-2.4.21-ben2.txt>) : ------------------------------------- CONFIG_I2C=y # CONFIG_I2C_ALGOBIT is not set CONFIG_I2C_ALGOPCF=m CONFIG_I2C_ELEKTOR=m CONFIG_I2C_KEYWEST=y CONFIG_I2C_CHARDEV=m CONFIG_I2C_PROC=m ----------------------------------- But after booting I have to manually load sound: modprobe dmasound_pmac After this I can hear at least the error signal on a console or xterm when pressing at an empty shell prompt the BackSpace key. RealPlayer: no sound, too. It says: "Cannot open the audio device. Another application may be using it" Does someone see an obvious mistake in my configs? Thanks in anticipation.
