alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device
My snes emulator says that /dev/dsp doesn't exist but it points to dsp0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 2007-01-06 12:56 /dev/dsp -> /dev/dsp0 xmms pops up an err msg box Couldn't open audio Please check that your sound card is configured properly You have the correct output plugin selected No other program is blocking the sound card It stopped working when I installed mplayer, which wanted to use alsam but opening the sound device failed. Sound still works from windows. On 1/10/07, Topher Fischer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

I know this sounds dumb, but I'm just saying it because I've done it myself a few times... Have you checked the volume levels?
