hey all.

i was wonderring if anybody ever experienced those
problems before:

------------------------------------------------------
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/rc.d# alsamixer
alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default:
No such device
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/rc.d# strace -eopen alsamixer
open("/etc/ld.so.preload", O_RDONLY)    = -1 ENOENT
(No such file or directory)
open("/dev/snd/controlC0", O_RDONLY)    = -1 ENODEV
(No such device)
open("/dev/aloadC0", O_RDONLY)          = -1 ENODEV

open("/dev/snd/controlC0", O_RDWR)      = -1 ENODEV

open("/dev/snd/controlC0", O_RDONLY)    = -1 ENODEV

open("/dev/aloadC0", O_RDONLY)          = -1 ENODEV
(No such device)
open("/dev/snd/controlC0", O_RDWR)      = -1 ENODEV
(No such device)
------------------------------------------------------

the funniest part is that those files do exist in
exactly those directories ALSA is looking in. it just
seems that Slack refuses to treat those as devices...

the modules seem to be loaded currectly:
------------------------------------------------------

but not detected:
------------------------------------------------------
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/rc.d# cat /proc/asound/cards
--- no soundcards ---
------------------------------------------------------
and while boot i get errors about the device being
alraedy in use and a suggestion to use pci=biosirq
comes up, where should i be putting this parameter??

when i try to enable aRts through the KDE Control
Center i get "device: default can't be opened for
playback (No such device)". if i try to change the
default device to /dev/dsp# or /dev/adsp# i still get
the same error.

also none of the alsa libraries seem to open during
boot, and i get the same error all the time about the
device not being a device and couldnt be openned.

the script snddevices found in the alsa-drivers-xxxx
directory, which seems to fix all those problems, does
help at all.

i tried reinstalling the Alsa-drivers and still got
the same result. i also tried recompiling the 2.6.4
kernel with ALSA and still exactly the same errors.

i dont know what to do with this anymore, i feel like
i've tried every possible thing i could think of and
now im just over-frusrated with this...

my set:
Slack9.1 (had the same problems with Slack9.0)
Kernel 2.4.22 (also have 2.6.4)
ALSA 1.0.3
SBLive
onboard ADI1980 AC'97 (disabled via bios)

any ideas or help would be SUPER!!!!

thnx for taking the time.
