Re: no sound with kernel 2.4.2
Hi I've the same problem with Opl3sa2 and kernel 2.4.2. I have seen threads about that in the kernel mailing list. Currently I use alsa which works great and is certainly a good solution. IMHO the OSS ccode in the kernel are going to be replaced by alsa. Christophe On jeu, 15 mar 2001 19:16:09 Philipp Bliedung wrote: > Hi everybody, > > I just compiled the 2.4.2 kernel.

If the sound modules built in the kernel don't work for you, why not try ALSA? You'll have to get the ALSA packages from unstable (sid), those from potato or woody don't work with the 2.4-series kernels Basically first you build a kernel package as described in the `kernel-package' package documentation. Perhaps you've already done this. Then you install the packages alsaconf alsa-base alsa-source alsa-utils and maybe some others to satisfy the dependencies. Finally you follow the instructions in /usr/share/doc/alsa-source/README.Debian.gz and build an alsa-modules package. hope this helps, Christoph
Re: no sound with kernel 2.4.2
I have the same problem. I updated the kernel to 2.4.2 and the sound became partly disabled. According to dmesg the kernel finds and sets the soundcard correctly (I have ESS1868), I can play soundfiles by sending them to either /dev/audio or /dev/dsp, using cat (this I can do both as root and normal user). I can use xmms only as root, esd complains like this (also when run by root): audio_alsa: no cards found!Audio device open for 44.1Khz, stereo, 16bit failed Trying 44.1Khz, 8bit stereo. audio_alsa: no cards found!Audio device open for 44.1Khz, stereo, 8bit failed Trying 22.05Khz, 8bit stereo. audio_alsa: no cards found!Audio device open for 22.05Khz, stereo, 8bit failed Trying 44.1Khz, 16bit mono. audio_alsa: no cards found!Audio device open for 44.1Khz, mono, 8bit failed Trying 22.05Khz, 8bit mono. audio_alsa: no cards found!Audio device open for 22.05Khz, mono, 8bit failed Trying 11.025Khz, 8bit stereo. audio_alsa: no cards found!Audio device open for 11.025Khz, stereo, 8bit failed Trying 11.025Khz, 8bit mono. audio_alsa: no cards found!Audio device open for 11.025Khz, mono, 8bit failed Trying 8.192Khz, 8bit mono. audio_alsa: no cards found!Audio device open for 8.192Khz, mono, 8bit failed Trying 8Khz, 8bit mono. audio_alsa: no cards found!Sound device inadequate for Esound. Fatal. gmix and other gnome-programs also complain. I have been wondering if the fact that I've got alsa-base installed has something to do with this (it was already installed when I updated the kernel). The error messages esd spews out certainly points to that. Anyone have further suggestions? regards, Gudmundur On Thu, Mar 15, 2001 at 09:31:01PM +0100, Philipp Bliedung wrote: > Matthew Bryant Baxa wrote: > > > On Thu, Mar 15, 2001 at 07:16:09PM +0100, Philipp Bliedung wrote: > > > > > I used gom as the mixer.

Try adding yourself to the audio group. I'm already a member of the audio group ! Otherwise I wouldn't be able to play music using the 2.2.17 kernel. Even root gets an error trying to run gom.
no sound with kernel 2.4.2
Hi everybody, I just compiled the 2.4.2 kernel. Everything is working fine except for the sound. Under kernel 2.2.17 I had this is my /etc/modules: sound mpu401 ad1848 opl3sa2 opl3 options opl3sa2 dma=1 dma2=0 io=0x538 mpu_io=0x330 mss_io=0x530 irq=7 options opl3 io=0x388 I used gom as the mixer. When I booted the 2.4.2 kernel (witeh the same /etc/modules) and tried to play a song I got this: "Cannot open audio device. Please make sure that the audio device is properly configured." And when I try to use gom I get this: gom ERROR: Can't open mixer device special file "/dev/mixer": No such gom: device. Error help: if loading a mixer special file leads to "No such gom: device", then you most likely do have the kernel sound driver gom: not or incorrectly installed. "Permission denied" means you gom: need permissions by the local admin in the first place. gom: gom: Current channel information gom: --- gom: gom: No Name Rec Volumes Vol-0 Vol-1 Locked gom: 0.vol-1 -1 -1 -1 1 But there is a file named /dev/mixer crw-rw1 root audio 14, 0 Jul 5 2000 mixer crw-rw1 root audio 14, 16 Jul 5 2000 mixer1 crw-rw1 root audio 14, 32 Jul 5 2000 mixer2 crw-rw1 root audio 14, 48 Jul 5 2000 mixer3 lrwxrwxrwx1 root root 10 Mar 15 18:51 modem -> /dev/ttyS3 lrwxrwxrwx1 root root5 Oct 28 23:51 mouse -> psaux When I compiled the kernel I selected everything that was under "sound" to be compiled as a module. Also when I try to load these modules by hand (insmod mpu401, etc...) it doesn't give an error I have no clue why this doesn't work! When I boot the 2.2.17 kernel everything works just great. Here is what I get when I use gom under 2.2.17: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~ gom -t gom: gom: Current channel information gom: --- gom: gom: No Name Rec Volumes Vol-0 Vol-1 Locked gom: 0.vol-1 2 75 75 1 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~ BTW I'm on a Toshiba Tecra 8000 Laptop. Help is very much appreciated! TIA! Philipp
