Sound was working fine with my system until recently, and now appears to
be quite screwed up in a way I cannot diagnose. Any help is appreciated.
I am running sid with the 2.6.6-2-k7 kernel. I have a soundblaster card
that is recognized:
aloysha:~# cat /proc/asound/cards
0 [CMI8738 ]: CMI8738 - C-Media PCI CMI8738
C-Media PCI CMI8738 (model 37) at 0x9400, irq 10
1 [Live ]: EMU10K1 - Sound Blaster Live!
Sound Blaster Live! (rev.8) at 0x8800, irq 5
I am using the discover package, and it looks like it has loaded the
appropriate modules:

The appropriate audio devices appear to exist (and yes, I have run
MAKEDEV audio):
aloysha:~# ls -l /dev/dsp
crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 3 Jun 22 00:21 /dev/dsp
But, I hear no sound, and when I attempt the simple test of writing a
sound file to /dev/dsp (even as root, to avoid any permission issues), I
am told that the device doesn't exist!
aloysha:/home/dcw/sndkit/dsp# cat endoftheworld > /dev/dsp
cat: write error: No such device
Can anyone diagnose the problem? Has anyone else experienced this
problem? Thanks,
David
