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 (No such device) open("/dev/snd/controlC0", O_RDWR) = -1 ENODEV (No such device) open("/dev/snd/controlC0", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENODEV (No such device) 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: ------------------------------------------------------ [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/rc.d# lsmod Module Size Used by Not tainted snd-pcm-oss 46372 0 (autoclean) (unused) snd-pcm 67616 0 (autoclean) [snd-pcm-oss] snd-page-alloc 6964 0 (autoclean) [snd-pcm] snd-seq 39152 0 (autoclean) snd-timer 16004 0 (autoclean) [snd-pcm snd-seq] snd-seq-device 4320 0 (autoclean) [snd-seq] snd-mixer-oss 14392 0 (autoclean) [snd-pcm-oss] snd 37796 0 (autoclean) [snd-pcm-oss snd-pcm snd-seq snd-timer snd-seq-device snd-mixer-oss] soundcore 3332 0 (autoclean) [snd] emu10k1-gp 1352 0 (unused) gameport 1452 0 [emu10k1-gp] ------------------------------------------------------ the card is present: ------------------------------------------------------ Bus 0, device 8, function 0: Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Live! EMU10k1 (rev 10). Master Capable. Latency=32. Min Gnt=2.Max Lat=20. I/O at 0x9400 [0x941f]. Bus 0, device 8, function 1: Input device controller: Creative Labs SB Live! MIDI/Game Port (rev 10).

I/O at 0x9000 [0x9007]. ------------------------------------------------------ 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.
