I am new to Linux and Debian and have really no idea how to troubleshoot things yet. I had a local Debian guru help me install Debian (on the 11th), but I'm having difficulties with my sound. Below is the error message that I get:
Sound server informational message. Error while initializing the sound driver: device /dev/dsp can't be opened (no such device) The sound server will continue using the null output device. Here's my sound card info: Crystal Semiconductor Chip set CS4236 I have been following some threads and have run the following commands with the following results. I don't know exactly how to read the results I've gotten or what to do next. Thanks in advance for any gentle guidance you can give me :) Lisa B. ***** # cat /proc/asound/sndstat Sound Driver:3.8.1a-980706 (ALSA v0.9.0beta10 emulation code) Kernel: Linux debian001 2.4.16-686 #1 Wed Nov 28 09:27:17 EST 2001 i686 Config options: 0 Installed drivers: Type 10: ALSA emulation Card config: --- no soundcards --- Audio devices: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG Synth devices: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG Midi devices: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG Timers: 7: system timer Mixers: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG ***** # cat /proc/modules snd-pcm-oss 34400 0 (autoclean) (unused) snd-pcm 46176 0 (autoclean) [snd-pcm-oss] snd-timer 9056 0 (autoclean) [snd-pcm] snd-mixer-oss 8608 0 (autoclean) [snd-pcm-oss] snd 23336 0 (autoclean) [snd-pcm-oss snd-pcm snd-timer snd-mixer-oss] soundcore 3556 0 (autoclean) [snd] 3c59x 24904 1 (autoclean) af_packet 11496 1 rtc 5368 0 (autoclean) unix 13700 80 (autoclean) ide-disk 6592 5 (autoclean) ide-probe-mod 7968 0 (autoclean) ide-mod 129452 5 (autoclean) [ide-disk ide-probe-mod] ext2 30336 4 (autoclean) ext3 55136 0 (autoclean) jbd 34344 0 (autoclean) [ext3] ***** # modprobe snd-card-cs4236 /lib/modules/2.4.16-686/alsa/snd-card-cs4236.o: init_module: No such device Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters /lib/modules/2.4.16-686/alsa/snd-card-cs4236.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.16-686/alsa/snd-card-cs4236.o failed /lib/modules/2.4.16-686/alsa/snd-card-cs4236.o: insmod snd-card-cs4236 failed ***** #cat /proc/interrupts 0: 108346 XT-PIC timer 1: 159 XT-PIC keyboard 2: 0 XT-PIC cascade 8: 3 XT-PIC rtc 11: 43 XT-PIC eth0 12: 7606 XT-PIC PS/2 Mouse 14: 146397 XT-PIC ide0 15: 0 XT-PIC ide1 NMI: 0 LOC: 108306 ERR: 0 MIS: 0 ***** #lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corp. 440BX/ZX - 82443BX/ZX Host bridge (rev 02) 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corp. 440BX/ZX - 82443BX/ZX AGP bridge (rev 02) 00:07.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corp. 82371AB PIIX4 ISA (rev 02) 00:07.1 IDE interface: Intel Corp. 82371AB PIIX4 IDE (rev 01) 00:07.2 USB Controller: Intel Corp. 82371AB PIIX4 USB (rev 01) 00:07.3 Bridge: Intel Corp. 82371AB PIIX4 ACPI (rev 02) 00:0f.0 PCI bridge: Digital Equipment Corporation DECchip 21152 (rev 03) 00:11.0 Ethernet controller: 3Com Corporation 3c905B 100BaseTX [Cyclone] (rev 24) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc 3D Rage Pro AGP 1X/2X (rev 5c) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
