[sarge/kernel-2.4.26-1-686. I am in the "audio" group.] I'm going to jump in here since I, too, can't get ALSA to work correctly with my board (SB Live!). The first two steps above are OK. [BTW, all works fine under a non-ALSA RH9.] When I run 'alsaconf', it shows, emu10k1 Creative Labs SB Live! EMU10k1 (rev 0a) in the dialog which I select and configure. My radio/TV card does *not* show up. When I run 'alsamixer', it *only* shows my "Brooktree Bt878" card (radio, TV). The "Bt878" mixer controls do nothing. More importantly, I can't get what I'd call the "general mixer controls" to show up (e.g., Master, PCM, etc). 'Kmix' seg faults! I tried "alsamixer -c 1", and it returned: alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for hw:1: No such device Here are some relevant installed modules: snd-bt87x 5704 0 snd-pcm-oss 39464 0 (unused) snd-mixer-oss 13848 0 [snd-pcm-oss] snd-pcm 61124 0 [snd-bt87x snd-pcm-oss] snd-timer 14532 0 [snd-pcm] snd-page-alloc 6392 0 [snd-bt87x snd-pcm] snd 33508 0 [snd-bt87x snd-pcm-oss snd-mixer-oss snd-pcm snd-timer] soundcore 3940 8 [bttv snd emu10k1 sound] Thanks for any help! -- Prof Kenneth H Jacker [EMAIL PROTECTED] Computer Science Dept www.cs.appstate.edu/~khj Appalachian State Univ Boone, NC 28608 USA -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
