I have just recently installed my moduels for the yamaho on-board opl3sa2 sound device. The modules installed successfully, but now whenever I try to play a sound file, be it with xmms or with aplay, the file does not play. xmms, of course, merely doesn't play the file, with no error message. aplay, however, exits with a write error message. in either case, I hear static coming through the speaker (as if it is working) BEFORE I start either xmms or aplay. Then the static ceases, and NOTHING comes through the speakers. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.start alsa with "# /etc/init.d/alsasound start" 2.hear static coming through speakers 3.try to play a file with aplay or xmms 4.Static ceases and no file is played, aplay exits with error message, xmms sits there cross eyed and drooling displaying 00:00 on the time elapsed display Actual Results: Results from aplay # aplay /usr/lib/MozillaFirefox/res/samples/test.wav Playing WAVE '/usr/lib/MozillaFirefox/res/samples/test.wav' : Unsigned 8 bit, Rate 22050 Hz, Mono aplay: pcm_write:1146: write error: Input/output error Results from xmms: press play, static ceases, xmms displays 00:00 on time elapsed display IMPORTANT: xmms does NOT freeze, nor does the machine. It merely refuses to play the sound file Expected Results: audio file played through the speakers # emerge info Portage 2.0.51.19 (default-linux/x86/2005.0, gcc-3.3.5, glibc-2.3.4.20040808-r1, 2.6.11-gentoo-r9 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.11-gentoo-r9 i686 Pentium II (Klamath) Gentoo Base System version 1.4.16 Python: dev-lang/python-2.3.4-r1 [2.3.4 (#1, Mar 11 2005, 13:17:01)] dev-lang/python: 2.3.4-r1 sys-apps/sandbox: [Not Present] sys-devel/autoconf: 2.59-r6, 2.13 sys-devel/automake: 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.5, 1.4_p6, 1.6.3, 1.9.4 sys-devel/binutils: 2.15.92.0.2-r1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.10-r4 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.8.1-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=i686 -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/env /usr/kde/3.3/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=i686 -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs autoconfig ccache distlocks sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://csociety-ftp.ecn.purdue.edu/pub/gentoo/ http://gentoo.chem.wisc.edu/gentoo/ ftp://cudlug.cudenver.edu/pub/mirrors/distributions/gentoo/ http://prometheus.cs.wmich.edu/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.us.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 X alsa apm arts avi berkdb bitmap-fonts crypt cups emacs emboss encode esd evo fam foomaticdb fortran gdbm gif gnome gpm gtk gtk2 imlib ipv6 jpeg kde libg++ libwww mad mikmod motif mozilla mp3 mpeg ncurses nls ogg oggvorbis opengl oss pam pdflib perl png python qt quicktime readline sdl spell ssl svga tcpd tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts vorbis xml2 xmms xv zlib userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CBUILD, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY
