alsa is part of 2.6.x kernel, use the drivers in that dont use the drivers that are part of the alsa-drivers pkg i did initially, but ok, so i'll just emerge --unemerge everything alsa? (tools, utils, drivers?) also, what should i do with /etc/modules.d/alsa and /etc/inid.d/alsasound i removed alsa-drivers and tools and utils and ... voila!! SOUND! haha, how exceedingly simple... you guys rock thank you so much! :* :) i dunno about the utils/tools packages but i know drivers are useless when running 2.6.x could you investigate a little into it and post your findings so that in the future ppl have something to read ? well, i don't know if this is related, but sound is very distorted when playing mp3's now through xmms--any ideas? i don't know what it is you want me to post, but i unmerged alsa-utils, and alsa-tools and now i have sound. /etc/modules.d/alsa is still there, but i "rc-update del alsasound" and it removed it from boot alsa-{tools,utils} are still 'needed', as they provide alsa-mixer and the like, also you can still use the /etc/init.d/alsasound initscript to automatically unmute your mixer devices on startup.
to comment #6: you probably moved all mixer levels to 100%, 78% are recommend.
Could http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/alsa-guide.xml be updated to explain what alsa-utils and alsa-tools do and spell out what to do for 2.6? |
from linux-2.6.0-test2-bk8, linux-2.6.0-test3-bk1 to linux-2.6.0-test4 i cannot get any sound what-so-ever. I submitted another bug, but retracted it for some reason, but it was never resolved, i just went back to the pre2 kernel. I emerged alsa-drivers, alsa-utils, alsa-tools. Alsamixer channels are ALL unmuted and MAXXED! THe equilizer on xmms shows activity, but of course i get no throughput nor output. all sound card modules are loading correctly and with no errors at boot... my /etc/modules.d/alsa: # ALSA portion alias char-major-116 snd # OSS/Free portion alias char-major-14 soundcore ## ## IMPORTANT: ## You need to customise this section for your specific sound card(s) ## and then run `update-modules' command. ## Read alsa-driver's INSTALL file in /usr/share/doc for more info. ## ## ALSA portion ## alias snd-card-0 snd_intel8x0 alias snd-card-0 intel8x0 ## alias snd-card-0 ac97_codec ## alias snd-card-1 snd-ens1371 ## OSS/Free portion alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 ##alias sound-slot-0 ac97_codec ## alias sound-slot-1 snd-card-1 ## # OSS/Free portion - card #1 alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss ## OSS/Free portion - card #2 ## alias sound-service-1-0 snd-mixer-oss ## alias sound-service-1-3 snd-pcm-oss ## alias sound-service-1-12 snd-pcm-oss alias /dev/mixer snd-mixer-oss alias /dev/dsp snd-pcm-oss alias /dev/midi snd-seq-oss # Set this to the correct number of cards. options snd cards_limit=1 so, i hope you guys can help me, i was in the forum, but the problem there for someone else was a muted PCM. thanks Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot; startx 2. start xmms 3. Actual Results: no sound Expected Results: given me sound
