Re: [Alsa-user] Alsa is ok, but it doesn't start

[Billybob]

Ok, there are no "opl3sa2.o" files on the computer. Every opl3sa2.o file has the prefix "snd-". I ran "make menuconfig" along with the previous steps on the install guide. I checked the Sound section. Sound Card Support is set to M(module) and everything else is blanked out. I'm continuing following the guide again, just to make sure I did everything right. BTW, I'm using: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/alsa-guide.xml I really wish I knew what was wrong :-\ Thank you for your help thus far.

Wunderbar! heh, accually, I'm just learning it, anyway: are you sure about that? I mean, when I start alsa it lists out that file and then the errors... and if that isn't the module, then where would be the module that alsa compiled(because I did have emerge for the opl3sa2 card)? I'll delete it(move to trash) and reboot when I get the time and see how everything goes. Be sure to only move away the opl3sa2.o module, *not* snd-opl3sa2.o Actually you don't need te (re)move the file, but you probably need to fix the modules configuration. I don't know, how Gentoo does this, but in the end it sits in /etc/modules.conf on almost any distribution. Search this file for an occurence of opl3sa2. Delete that line, if it does not contain "snd-opl3sa2". Then run the alsaconf script from the alsa-driver.tar.bz2 on alsa-project.org to configure ALSA. ciao
