I have installed alsa 0.9.0beta10(a) driver-lib-utils
on SBLive Platinum. No apparent errors during installation, which went fairly
smoothly.
But alsamixer does not appear to function properly. Also I cannot get sound with
the avview TV application, which is what I am trying to do.
Various details follow. Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Gary
---------------------------------------
Observed problems:
1. run alsamixer, the Chip name as it appears in top left of display says
TriTech TR28602. But the chip is supposed to be EMU10K1 for SoundBlaster Live
Platinum. None of the controls seem to do anything when playing music CD
except for WAV.
2. run alsaplayer, stdout indicates protocol incompatibility
# alsaplayer
AlsaPlayer 0.99.36

ALSA->open(): Sound protocol is not compatible
/usr/lib/alsaplayer/output/libalsa.so failed to load
Output plugin: OSS output v1.0
Input plugin: CDDA player v1.0
Input plugin: MikMod player v0.9
Input plugin: MPEG (mpg123) player v0.59r
Input plugin: Ogg Vorbis player v0.9

I can play a Music CD with alsaplayer but none of the device controls in the
mixer have any effect, except the WAV device does attenuate the music sound.
Only the front channels are working.
3. No sound with TV application xawtv. I have tried V. Dregachev's avview
application 0.8.1 and I follow all of Vladimir's instructions and still get
no sound. I have tried numerous combinations of devices/physical
connectors/mute/volume.
4. I have tried 0.5.0 but did not do any better with that. I have no error
messages when I run the installation of alsa. I did driver ./configure using
--with-cards=emu10k1, make, make install, snddevices, modprobe -snd-card-emu10k1
was good. I do not see snd-mixer in lsmod.I do not see mixer in devices. I
checked soundcore in lsmod it was there.
I used alsaconf and there is no problem. The test.wav file playback sounds good.
Switch --with-debug=detect did not expose /var/log/messages.
