Description Kimmo Sundqvist 2004-03-19 03:47:38 UTC
Kernel 2.6.2, 
*  media-libs/alsa-lib
      Latest version installed: 0.9.8
*  media-libs/alsa-oss
      Latest version installed: 0.9.8
*  media-sound/alsa-tools
      Latest version installed: 0.9.8
*  media-sound/alsa-utils
      Latest version installed: 0.9.8

Everything ALSA-related in kernel is compiled as a module, and /etc/modules.d/alsa is according to guidelines.  Running "alsasound restart" does:

 * WARNING:  you are stopping a boot service.
 * Unloading ALSA...
 * Storing ALSA Mixer Levels
 * Unloading modules                                                                                       [ ok ]

 * Loading: snd-seq
FATAL: Module snd_seq not found.
 * Loading: snd-emu8000-synth
 * Loading: snd-seq-midi
 * Running card-dependent scripts
 * Restoring Mixer Levels

Haven't been able to figure out what is snd_seq.  sfxload complains that /dev/sequencer doesn't exist.  "/dev/sequencer: No such device or address"

I am logged in as root.  The problem is the same with user kimmos, who is a member of the group "audio".

Btw. I can't understand why doesn't the card use the ROM samples if nothing is uploaded into the RAM.

Comment 1 Jeremy Huddleston (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-03-19 16:15:12 UTC
Can you please try awesfx-0.5.0b
Comment 2 Kimmo Sundqvist 2004-03-20 11:26:49 UTC
Worked some more on the problem, and found out that I had compiled ALSA as modules (M), but for some reason the kernel's menuconfig allowed me to include (Y) all OSS emulation related things (even both of them) into the kernel, when it should have forced either no (N) or modules (M).  After that awesfx 0.4.4 worked fine.
