Hi all, I have been running OSS since years, but now I want to try ALSA, because I want to use my microphone for skype.
So I followed the Gentoo ALSA guide, but unfortunately w/o success Sad First, I looked for my sound card. It's a SB Live!, so I added ALSA_CARDS="emu10k1" to my /etc/make.conf file. Then I merged alsa-driver, alsa-oss and alsa-utils. Then, I added these lines to my /etc/modules.d/alsa file: alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1 alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 and run update-modules afterwards. But now I get this error: * Loading ALSA modules... * Loading: snd-card-0... * ERROR: Failed to load necessary drivers * Restoring Mixer Levels... * No mixer config in /etc/asound.state, you have to unmute your card! Where do I have to look for the problem? I compiled sound support into my kernel and activated emu10k1 as module (but I tried without that as well). Maybe you guys have any ideas?
