Hi all, My problem seems to be that when I ran dselect last week on my testing (home) box last week from testing (please, no flames. I admit that I know what i have done and that I play in dangerous waters), after a reboot I lost SOME sound. By that I mean that most applications (xmms, gnome, pan, xgalaga, q3demo, etc.) where I enjoyed sound before, now either hang on sound initialization (I.E. q3demo, xmms) or report "/dev/dsp device or resource busy". I know that my 2.4.2 kernel is configured correctly.
ra kernel: es1371: version v0.27 time 21:26:58 Mar 2 2001 ra kernel: es1371: found chip, vendor id 0x1274 device id 0x1371 revision 0x07 ra kernel: es1371: found es1371 rev 7 at io 0x7000 irq 19 ra kernel: es1371: features: joystick 0x0 ra kernel: ac97_codec: AC97 Audio codec, id: 0x8384:0x7608 (SigmaTel STAC9708) and that I have sound in some games like armagetron and xtuxracer (which i BELIEVE use libsdl for sound access) but not in other applications. A listing of devices is as follows: ra:/dev# l audio lrwxrwxrwx 1 root audio 11 Mar 8 01:18 audio -> /dev/audio0 ra:/dev# l dsp lrwxrwxrwx 1 root audio 9 Mar 8 01:18 dsp -> /dev/dsp0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root audio 12 Mar 8 01:25 snd -> /proc/es1371 ra:/dev# l dsp0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root audio 14, 3 Mar 8 01:18 dsp0 ra:/dev# l audio0 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 4 Mar 8 01:18 audio0 es1371 is built directly into the kernel as per the default make as is soundcore. I have tried to track this down for a week now and have had no progress from pouring over the FM in all sound related areas. In following the list I see that this is not a problem others have run into either. The only other "fallout" from this testing update is that the "home" and "end" keys no longer seem to work as expected (they produce a tilde ~ character now) in a Eterm or in the console (I HAVE seen alot of console updating in the last week) but I expect that it is a work in progress and will be fixed soon. That I can live with but the absence of xmms I cannot endure too much longer. Please help!!! Any assistance will be GREATLY appreciated and rewarded (in the way of FTP access to my library as well as my never ending esteem!)!!! Thank you for your time. ===== Regards- Tim Stetson Whiskey Sour Nuhn O. Yobiznez Licq # 14373626 Why?.........Why not?..............Why not try?
