Nigel,
Well, as I said in my private email (forgot to include the mailing list), I
connected up my USB box, and can now both record and play back using
arecord and aplay. So the problem seems to be in the configuration of the
SB sound card. It was a cheap OEM one, so probably isn't well supported

Nigel,
Thanks again. I wasn't trying to imply that you weren't helping, just
asking whether people who really know what's going on inside Alsa look at
the messages.
Anyway, I tried your suggestion and it recreated asound.state. Exactly the

Nigel,
Oops - forgot to mention that I'm using Gutsy Gibbon (7.10). There seem to
be quite a few people who've had problems with sound in GG. But none of the
solutions on the Ubuntu bulletin board has helped me.

James,
Thanks for this.
I am a member of the audio group, so problem there. The sound modules seem
to be loaded OK.
The relevant bit of the output from lsmod is:
$ lsmod |grep snd
snd_emu10k1_synth 8192 0
snd_emux_synth 35456 1 snd_emu10k1_synth
snd_seq_virmidi 8064 1 s

This error normally happens when it can't find the devices. Is your user in
the audio group? Are you running udev/devfs? If not, did you run ./snddevices
? Are the sound m
I've just started to play with Ubuntu, but cannot get the sound system and
ALSA to work. No help from the Ubuntu forums, so I'm hoping for help here.
