This does not tell me anything. I have often had problems with ALSA in the past. I think it is because alsa-oss is not given much attention by the developers - they provide it for lazy people with old softwares who are (like me) reluctant to rewrite for the ALSA interface. I installed the latest Debian testing a couple of days ago. It came with alsa but without alsa-oss and it works perfectly well on the laptop. On the stationary computer I have the stable release of Debian and it uses OSS since the alsa plus alsa-oss package did not work properly. The (non-working) stationary has SND_LIB_VERSION_STR = "1.0.13" The well working lap-top does have the /dev/sndstat file: hp:/home/dsp# cat /dev/sndstat Sound Driver:3.8.1a-980706 (ALSA v1.0.14rc3 emulation code) Kernel: Linux hp 2.6.21-2-686-bigmem #1 SMP Wed Jul 11 05:05:14 UTC 2007 i686 Config options: 0 Installed drivers: Type 10: ALSA emulation Card config: HDA Intel at 0xe8580000 irq 20 Audio devices: 0: AD198x Analog (DUPLEX) This was all automatically installed with the standard packages for Debian. There is no longer any alsa-oss package and Linrad compiles and runs without any problem under X11. (It is quite another thing that I had to modify both mousetest and the linrad main routine in order to make the screen work properly. These changes will come with Linrad-02.39) (There will also be a proper error message rather than a seg-fault in an error situation like the one you have right now: [1289]routine:set_analog_io file:lsetad.c No usable device found for loudspeaker output.) It seems to me you should de-install alsa and alsa-oss and then install ALSA v1.0.14rc3. Maybe that would help. 73 Leif / SM5BSZ ############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <linrad@antennspecialisten.se>.
