Try "adduser audio". This adds you to the group of users who are allowed to use audio devices (like /dev/dsp). If you want to know, to which group you have to add your user-account start the program from the console (or Konsole in KDE). Normally they will abort with a message like "Cannot open sound device: /dev/dsp" or similiar. Then you can look at the access rights with "ls -l /dev/". -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Don't mess with the permissions. Add users who you want to be able to play sounds to the audio group. I think it's adduser user group, though wait until someone else checks in on this before doing it. > I use KDE.

Try it the debian way. You've build your own kernel. As I read former threads you did it on the classic way. Now: Get the kernel-sources you want: apt-get install kernel-source-2.4.18 If you want: apt-get -t testing install kernel-source-2.4.19 For your sound get working you need: apt-get install alsa-source chdir to /usr/src do a tar -xjvf kernel-source-2.4.1X.tar.bz2 do a tar -xzvf alsa-driver.tar.gz The drivers will then be in /usr/src/modules. Do a ln-s kernel-source-2.4.1X linux. chdir /usr/src/linux. do a make-menuconfig or in X make-xconfig. configure your kernel for your needs. BTW you don't have to compile the sound stuff directly. Only choosing CONFIG_SOUND=m seems to be enough for using the alsa-drivers. After your config has finished do: make-kpkg --initrd --revision=YOURVERSION1.0 --kernel-image \ --modules-image Go for a cup of coffee (maybe you prefer a glas of whisky). After compiling you have to switch back to /usr/src. Do dpkg -i kernel-image-2.4.19_YOURVERSION1.0_i386.deb dpkg -i alsa-modules-2.4.19_0.9+0beta12+3+p0+YOURVERSION1.0_i386.deb Check the advices while installing your new kernel-deb package. Your lilo must confirm to your new kernel. Put your user to grp audio. Start mp3blaster and enyoy Frank Zappa on your debian-way build woody-box! ;-) If you want to use 2.4.19 don't forget to do an update to the recomended compiling stuff: apt-get -t testing install initrd-tools fileutils modutils.

When you build a kernel, you need to move the old modules (or delete them) so that you can install the new kernel and its modules. I think that might be the problem now. Also, two things to note is that you can list any modules that are loaded with the 'lsmod'. Do this to verify the modules aren't already loaded. Next thing to know is that you need to add your user to the audio group. Look at the file "group" in /etc: 'less /etc/group', the audio group is what you want to give yourself permission to use, so you can add yourself to that group with: 'adduser foobar audio' as root of course. I don't use sndconfig if I build my own kernels. I only use this when I have the default kernel (and all its modules) installed after a new Debian install. Since you already know what module you need, simply use 'modconf' to load it in after your new kernel is installed. If modconf fails, then you have to dig a little further to see what you might have done. Again, 'lsmod' is the tool you want to use to *see* what modules are already loaded. hth tatah - -- Jaye Inabnit\ARS ke6sls\/A GNU-Debian linux user\/ http://www.qsl.net/ke6sls If it's stupid, but works, it ain't stupid.

re: sound - miraculously working
Dear All Thanks for your comments. Here's a quick response: - try as root: All my CD exploits are as root at the moment. Once I've got it working I'll fix the permissions. - try mixer volume: Using aumixer, the volume for everything is set to 67%. - try "modprobe i810_audio" No change: cdcd still silent. It sounds (from comments) like it's not an IO/IRQ problem ... uh waitaminit ... Now there is music! I just pressed the 'volume up' key on my keyboard and music came out!! I feel *very* stupid. The Thinkpad has extra keys around the proper keyboard: 'internet' keys, an 'Access Thinkpad' key and some volume keys. The internet keys and the Access thinkpad keys don't work under Linux ... I'm sure I've tried the volume keys before, too ... Anyway, now it's working. Maybe it was modprobe i810_audio. Maybe it worked anyway. Obviously I need to look into keyboard configuration! Best wishes to everyone, sorry for wasting your time, and I hope you got a laugh out of it. There'll be a moral in there somewhere no doubt.

The sound and soundcore modules are generic modules - you will need a lower-level "driver" as well, but exactly which one depends on your hardware.

I know that if you use a pre-built generic 2.4.18 kernels you get cmpci as a module. I use this driver on my machine. For example, do: apt-get install kernel-image-2.4.18-k7 to get an AMD athlon (k7) kernel. You can replace the -k7 suffix with -386, -586tsc (classic Pentium), -686, -686-smp, or -k6 depending on what CPU you actually have. Follow the instructions you get about "initrd" and lilo during the installation like they say. Add cmpci to the /etc/modules file and reboot. I don't really know about the 2.2.x kernels so I'll let some one else help you on that. Cheers! Shyamal -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Re: sound with a VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82C686 AC97 Audio
You need to load three modules. # modprobe soundcore # modprobe ac97_codec # modprobe via82cxxx_audio Good luck, Qian On Mon, 7 Oct 2002 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Date: Mon, 7 Oct 2002 09:54:12 +0200 > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: sound with a VIA Technologies, Inc.

You will not need alsa or oss for this to work so do NOT select them when setting the kernel configs. You will need arts if you use kde and you will need esd or alsa to comply with some of the dependencies of other applications I am using this chipset with KDE3 on SID and the sound is fantastic. -- John Foster -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

If this is your card: C-Media CMI8738 then it is supported by alsa 0.9.0rc3. > I look in dselect to see what alsa components might usefully be > installed. I find no packages that mention 2.2.xx explicitly, but many > that mention 2.4.xx, and many different flavors of 2.4.xx, too. Quite frankly i find the x+10 alsa packages disturbing. 3 differnet versions, none really usefull (to me). I grabed the the source packages from http://www.alsa-project.org/ compiled them and enjoy my mp3s. You need a fully configured kernel source tree for this.
