Hi, I believe the below information will help you. Installing the latest stable ALSA modules
For an easy install we will be using the ATrpms <http://www.atrpms.net/>repository. *1.* Load up a terminal window if you are in the graphic interface. *2.* Switch to the root user by entering the command “su -” (without the quotes) and typing in your root password *3.* Edit the file /etc/yum.conf. Using nano we type the command: nano -w /etc/yum.conf *4.* If you have already configured yum to use the ATrpms repository then append “*alsa*” to the end of the “includepkgs” line and skip the next setup. Otherwise continue on. *5.* Add the following to the bottom of this file: [atrpms] name=EL $releasever - $basearch - ATrpms baseurl=http://dl.atrpms.net/el$releasever-$basearch/atrpms/stable gpgkey=http://ATrpms.net/RPM-GPG-KEY.atrpms gpgcheck=1 enabled=1 exclude=*kmdl*i586* includepkgs=*alsa* *6.* Save the file. In nano you press Ctrl-X, answer yes to the “Save modified buffer” question and then press enter on the file name to write. *7.* If you have not previously setup ATrpms execute the following command: rpm --import http://ATrpms.net/RPM-GPG-KEY.atrpms *8.* Now execute the following command: yum install alsa-driver alsa-kmdl-`uname -r` *9.* Reboot your system and you will be using the updated ALSA module. Remember that you may need to adjust your volume settings. _Krishna On Thu, Apr 1, 2010 at 10:34 PM, Oscar Corte <oect_1...@hotmail.com> wrote: > Hi all: > > When trying to play a CD with Sound Juicer, I'm getting error “Could not > open audio device for playback” > > Reason: Internal GStreamer error: state change failed.
