Hi, I am trying to unable to configure my sound card on debian. The sound system that I have is Terratec SiXPack 5.1+. There is no sound on my system and on running alsamixer I see the following ouput:
alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device Doing lspci | grep audio says: 01:0a.0 Multimedia audio controller: Cirrus Logic CS 4614/22/24/30 [CrystalClear SoundFusion Audio Accelerator] (rev 01) If I run alsaconf, the driver for the card is not listed (as per the http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Module-cs46xx, it should be cs46xx). Choosing any of the listed driver doesn´t help either and gives the following output: ------------- Unloading ALSA sound driver modules: snd-bt87x snd-pcm snd-seq snd-timer snd-seq-device snd-page-alloc. Building card database... Loading driver... Setting default volumes... amixer: Mixer attach default error: No such device Saving the mixer setup used for this in /var/lib/alsa/asound.state. /usr/sbin/alsactl: save_state:1497: No soundcards found... =============================================================================== Now ALSA is ready to use. For adjustment of volumes, use your favorite mixer. Have a lot of fun! ---------------- I tried installing module-assistant and then using the command sudo module-assistant -t a-i alsa-source I built the alsa. I am not sure if I need to do anything else apart from this for building alsa with module-assistant. I tried running alsaconf but I don´t see the driver for cs46xx listed. I have tried building the module myself as per the instructions on http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Module-cs46xx but only for alsa-driver with the following command: ./configure --with-cards=cs46xx --with-sequencer=yes ; make ; make install And then if I try to do modprobe snd-cs46xx, it complains that this module doesn´t exist. Doing lsmod | grep snd gives the following output (when with alsaconf, I chose the cs4232 as the driver). snd_cs4232 11508 0 snd_opl3_lib 9696 1 snd_cs4232 snd_hwdep 6308 1 snd_opl3_lib snd_cs4231_lib 22144 1 snd_cs4232 snd_mpu401_uart 6496 1 snd_cs4232 snd_seq_midi 5728 0 snd_rawmidi 18656 2 snd_mpu401_uart,snd_seq_midi snd_seq_dummy 2756 0 snd_seq_oss 26368 0 snd_seq_midi_event 6432 2 snd_seq_midi,snd_seq_oss snd_pcm_oss 33280 0 snd_pcm 62820 2 snd_cs4231_lib,snd_pcm_oss snd_page_alloc 7496 2 snd_cs4231_lib,snd_pcm snd_mixer_oss 12832 1 snd_pcm_oss snd_seq 42032 6 snd_seq_midi,snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi_event snd_timer 17896 4 snd_opl3_lib,snd_cs4231_lib,snd_pcm,snd_seq snd_seq_device 6572 6 snd_opl3_lib,snd_seq_midi,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq snd 46724 14 snd_cs4232,snd_opl3_lib,snd_hwdep,snd_cs4231_lib,snd_mpu401_uart,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_pcm_oss,snd_pcm,snd_mixer_oss,snd_seq,snd_timer,snd_seq_device soundcore 6368 1 snd I am not sure what is it that I am doing wrong. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance, Divick
