Configuring ALSA is driving me crazy!

#1 Post by DarthV »

Hi,

I'm running Debian 3.1 , kernel version 2.4.27 on my Dell Dimension 4600 PC. I have a Soundblaster 5.1 Live! card.

While I managed to get OSS deliver sound to my system, I haven't been able to do that with ALSA. Here is what I get when I run alsaconf.

Code: Select all

Unloading ALSA sound driver modules: snd-mixer-oss snd-page-alloc.
Building card database...

Setting default volumes...
Saving the mixer setup used for this in /var/lib/alsa/asound.state.
/usr/sbin/alsactl: save_state:1194: No soundcards found...


===============================================================================

 Now ALSA is ready to use.
 For adjustment of volumes, use your favorite mixer.

 Have a lot of fun!
I came across a message somewhere online that said the soundcard on this particular Dell model (Dimension 4600) seems to have issues with ALSA though no solution was offered. Has anybody else had this issue? Is there a workaround?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I tried both the latest version of alsa as well as the one that ships with Debian.

Thanks

try using aptitude to install module-assistant, and then use module-assitant to install alsa on the kernel
