Hello Everyone, I started using Fedora Core 5 on a Toshiba Satellite P35-S611 a few months back, and have always had sound. Today I got to work and attempted to start XMMS. After taking a long time to run it wouldn't play music, but gave me the message, "Couldn't Open Audio: Please check that: Your soundcard is configured properly, You have the correct output plugin selected, No other program is blocking the soundcard". I started searching the net for answers, and after reading many posts on several forums I was not able to find a solution to my problem. I saw where several people had a similar circumstance, and running ./snddevices solved their issue. However, after doing a "locate snddevices" nothing came up. While reading the posts mentioned above I found: Typing "alsamixer" gives me: alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device Type "amixer" gives me: amixer: Mixer attach default error: No such device Running "strace -eopen alsamixer" I eventually get.... open("/dev/snd/controlC0", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/dev/aloadC0", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) My sound was working fine last night, I installed a game, but other than that didn't change any settings/devices/configs on my system. I've tried logging out and rebooting, but it still seems like my sound card doesn't exist anymore :( Does anyone have good advice for me?
