I've been unable to get my sound card to work, and was hoping for some help.
All the devices appear okay, all the modules seem to load, no messages in syslog, but when I: cat sound.au > /dev/dsp it just sits there (until I kill it), and I get no sound whatsoever. Here's all the relavant info I can think of, please let me know if you need more. I'm stumped and don't know what to do next. Can anyone help? ========== Machine is a Toshiba Satellite Pro 6000 #uname -a Linux Sean 2.2.20 #1 Sat Apr 20 11:45:28 EST 2002 i686 unknown [This is Debian: Woody] ========== #l /dev/dsp crw-rw-rw- 1 root audio 14, 3 Jul 5 2000 /dev/dsp #l /dev/audio crw-rw-rw- 1 root audio 14, 4 Jul 5 2000 /dev/audio #l /dev/mixer crw-rw-rw- 1 root audio 14, 0 Jul 5 2000 /dev/mixer #l /dev/sndstat crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 6 Jul 5 2000 /dev/sndstat [ I changed the permissions on dsp, audio, and mixer to 666 just to make sure that wasn't my problem.] ========== Relavant info from /var/syslog at startup: {dmesg at end of this e-mail} Trident 4DWave/SiS 7018/Ali 5451 PCI Audio, version 0.14.6a, 11:53:38 Apr 20 2002 trident: ALi Audio Accelerator found at IO 0xed00, IRQ 11 ac97_codec: AC97 Audio codec, vendor id1: 0x414b, id2: 0x4d02 (Unknown) ac97_codec: AC97 Modem codec, vendor id1: 0x5349, id2: 0x4c27 (Unknown) ========== #cat /dev/sndstat OSS/Free:3.8s2++-971130 Load type: Driver loaded as a module Kernel: Linux Sean 2.2.20 #1 Sat Apr 20 11:45:28 EST 2002 i686 Config options: 0 Installed drivers: Card config: Audio devices: Synth devices: Midi devices: Timers: 0: System clock Mixers: ========== # cat /proc/dma 4: cascade ========== # cat /proc/interrupts CPU0 0: 518962 XT-PIC timer 1: 9201 XT-PIC keyboard 2: 0 XT-PIC cascade 3: 0 XT-PIC 3c589_cs 8: 3 XT-PIC rtc 11: 52602 XT-PIC ALi Audio Accelerator, i82365, orinoco_cs 12: 234621 XT-PIC PS/2 Mouse 13: 1 XT-PIC fpu 14: 306186 XT-PIC ide0 15: 5 XT-PIC ide1 NMI: 0 ========== #cat /proc/ioports 0000-001f : dma1 0020-003f : pic1 0040-005f : timer 0060-006f : keyboard 0070-007f : rtc 0080-008f : dma page reg 00a0-00bf : pic2 00c0-00df : dma2 00f0-00ff : fpu 0100-013f : orinoco_cs 0170-0177 : ide1 01f0-01f7 : ide0 02f8-02ff : serial(set) 0300-030f : 3c589_cs 0376-0376 : ide1 03c0-03df : vga+ 03f6-03f6 : ide0 03f8-03ff : serial(set) ed00-edff : ALi Audio Accelerator eff0-eff7 : ide0 eff8-efff : ide1 df099000-df09901f : Intel Speedo3 Ethernet ========== # lsmod Module Size Used by serial_cs 5408 0 (unused) 3c589_cs 8544 0 (unused) orinoco_cs 4488 1 orinoco 28484 0 [orinoco_cs] hermes 3392 0 [orinoco_cs orinoco] ds 6400 3 [serial_cs 3c589_cs orinoco_cs] i82365 22672 3 pcmcia_core 45824 0 [serial_cs 3c589_cs orinoco_cs ds i82365] lockd 42420 0 (autoclean) (unused) sunrpc 57816 0 (autoclean) [lockd] nls_cp437 3896 2 (autoclean) trident 17812 2 ac97_codec 7372 0 [trident] sound 56384 0 (unused) soundlow 384 0 [sound] soundcore 2452 8 [trident sound] eepro100 14888 0 vfat 9428 1 smbfs 24892 0 (unused) unix 11352 124 (autoclean) ========== #/var/log# lspci -vv 00:00.0 Host bridge: Acer Laboratories Inc.
