securitybreach Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 (edited) I was messiing around with my sound trying to get it to work in Vector 5 using the thread http://forums.scotsnewsletter.com/index.php?showtopic=11603I figured it would work because Vector 5 is based on Slack 10.1 and now my whenever I run alsamixer I getthe following error:root:# alsamixer alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directoryI think it has something to do with the command:chmod 666 /dev/dsp*chmod 666 /dev/mixer*After I ran that I got the error.

teacher Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 Maybe someone will have an answer for you. I just went into PCLos to check to see how this shows up on my laptop since it has the AC97 sound chip set. Here is what mine shows: [root@localhost julia]# /sbin/lsmod | grep sndsnd-seq-oss 31552 0snd-seq-midi-event 5984 1 snd-seq-osssnd-seq 48112 4 snd-seq-oss,snd-seq-midi-eventsnd-seq-device 6924 2 snd-seq-oss,snd-seqsnd-pcm-oss 48672 0snd-mixer-oss 17216 1 snd-pcm-osssnd-ali5451 19716 0snd-ac97-codec 74968 1 snd-ali5451snd-pcm 81508 3 snd-pcm-oss,snd-ali5451,snd-ac97-codecsnd-timer 20612 2 snd-seq,snd-pcmsnd-page-alloc 7588 1 snd-pcmsnd 46084 9 snd-seq-oss,snd-seq,snd-seq-device,snd-pcm-oss,snd-mixer-oss,snd-ali5451,snd-ac97-codec,snd-pcm,snd-timersoundcore 7008 1 snd I believe I always have had several choices for that one. The snd-ac97-codec of snd-alis5451, snd-ac97 ws one of the choices in the control panel. I realize Vector does not have the same control pannel and I am too far removed from Slack and Vector to be able to tell you where to find it now.

securitybreach Posted May 11, 2005 Author Share Posted May 11, 2005 i figure I need to somehow change from default to my soundcard. Although, I dont where to begin to change it. I noticed my kmix shows Analog Devices AD1981 instead of the intel card. I dont know if this helps or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruno Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 And you added yourself to those groups ??What about the sound if you are logged in as root ? Bruno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
securitybreach Posted May 11, 2005 Author Share Posted May 11, 2005 (edited) Same thing. Its not the groups I dont think but somehow my sound card got replaced by analog device instead. Somehow it got linked wrong.I reinstalled before after getting the error and no way of fixing it. Maybe I should reinstall and then go from there instead of trying the same way I did before.

Bruno Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 What if you run Vasm to configure the soundcard again ?? . . Or alsaconf ?? . . . And what is the difference when you use one or the other tool ?? Bruno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruno Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 Hi BreachVery sorry . . . . maybe it is too early in the day but I do not see the differences . . ( well, only the fact that you gave two different commands, but the output is basically the same. ) Bruno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
securitybreach Posted May 12, 2005 Author Share Posted May 12, 2005 (edited) Those were both the new outputs. You have to look back in the beginning of th post for the old ones. Better yet I have edited the post to show Old and New output. Bruno: now you will be able to see the differences. Thanx Edited May 12, 2005 by securitybreach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 Ooooh YES . . . Now I do see the difference indeed !! . . . Thanks Breach, I was kind of lost this morning trying to see what you apparently saw . . . . so I checked 3 times but then gave up and posted my reply B) Bruno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
