i /finally/ got alsa-sound working yesterday. this morning, as i was booting my system, i noticed the following message float by:
aumix: error opening mixer in my /etc/init.d/rc.local file, i have the following statement, which sets my mixer to certain established levels: /usr/bin/aumix -L /etc/aumixrc /etc/aumixrc contains the following: vol:75:75:P bass:50:50:P treble:50:50:P synth:0:0:P pcm:74:74:P speaker:0:0:P line:0:0:R mic:0:0:P cd:0:0:P igain:0:0:P dig1:0:0:P /dev/mixer exists as a pointer to /dev/mixer0: calypso:/home/stephen# ls -al /dev/mixer lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Oct 24 11:44 /dev/mixer -> /dev/mixer0 calypso:/home/stephen# ls -al /dev/mixer0 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 0 Oct 24 11:44 /dev/mixer0 calypso:/home/stephen# to my untrained eye, this appears normal. anyone have any ideas as to what i may be doing wrong? (incidentally, alsamixer produces the same error -- which, under the circumstances, is no big surprise). -- ____) ,_) ,_) (-(__ |_ _ _ |/ ____) | |(_)(_ |\ ( \_, _______________________________________________ | http://www.exitwound.org : hard to find | _______________________________________________ | I am dyslexic of Borg.
