Good morning to all! It's first time i write this ml. From any day, I have a problem. Trying to listen an mp3 with xmms (I use a fedora core 6), I received a message of error (please check that: your soundcard is configured properly You have the correct output plugin selected No other program is blocking the soundcard). This happens if I select alsa like output plugin (with oss all works right!) Trying to launch alsamixer, the output is: "ALSA lib control.c:910:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL default alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory" These are the specifics of my system: /proc/asound/cards 0 [V8237 ]: VIA8237 - VIA 8237 VIA 8237 with ALC655 at 0xb800, irq 22 /proc/asound/modules 0 snd_via82xx /proc/asound/pcm 00-01: VIA 8237 : VIA 8237 : playback 1 : capture 1 00-00: VIA 8237 : VIA 8237 : playback 4 : capture 1 /proc/asound/timers G0: system timer : 1000.000us (10000000 ticks) P0-0-0: PCM playback 0-0-0 : SLAVE P0-0-1: PCM capture 0-0-1 : SLAVE P0-0-2: PCM playback 0-0-2 : SLAVE P0-0-4: PCM playback 0-0-4 : SLAVE P0-0-6: PCM playback 0-0-6 : SLAVE P0-1-0: PCM playback 0-1-0 : SLAVE P0-1-1: PCM capture 0-1-1 : SLAVE /proc/asound/version Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.14rc3.
