Hi L-A-users,
I've just installed kernel 2.6.3 on my Debian unstable system. I am
unable to make ALSA work. The error message I see is:
tim_AT_debian:~$ play /win/My\ Music/Various/track02.cdda.wav
playing /win/My Music/Various/track02.cdda.wav
sox: Can't open output file '/dev/dsp': No such device
I'm presuming I've missed something in the kernel config as sound works
fine with 2.4.24.
I've compiled ASLA and OSS API emulation into the kernel (no modules),
selected the Intel i8x0 device as I have nVidia nforce audio. I am a
member of the audio group. alsa-base is 1.0.2c-3, alsa-utils is 1.0.2-1.
Below I've pasted
/etc/alsa/modutils/1.0
/dev/dsp
/usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.3/.config
Any suggestions I would greatly appreciate.
Thank you,
Tim Beauregard
