Thanks, I fixed up the symlink to point to the new version. Unfortunately ALSA and RedHat disagree about where the libs should be installed - /lib vs /usr/lib... Seems like I'm closer, I was able to run alsamixer. But now aplay gives me this strange error. I'm not sure what group its talking about. I have write access to the devices files... Not sure I want to create a group audio either... brookew z: aplay testpcm1.wav ALSA lib pcm_direct.c:1590:(snd_pcm_direct_parse_open_conf) The field ipc_gid must be a valid group (create group audio) aplay: main:545: audio open error: Invalid argument brookew z: ls /dev/snd total 0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root users 160 Aug 14 15:16 . drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 4860 Aug 14 15:17 .. crw-rw---- 1 root users 116, 0 Aug 14 15:16 controlC0 crw-rw---- 1 root users 116, 24 Aug 14 15:16 pcmC0D0c crw-rw---- 1 root users 116, 16 Aug 14 15:16 pcmC0D0p crw-rw---- 1 root users 116, 26 Aug 14 15:16 pcmC0D2c crw-rw---- 1 root users 116, 1 Aug 14 15:16 seq crw-rw---- 1 root users 116, 33 Aug 14 15:14 timer > -----Original Message----- > From: Eliot Blennerhassett [mailto:linux@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] > Sent: Tuesday, August 14, 2007 6:48 PM > To: alsa-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Cc: Wallace, Brooke > Subject: Re: Loading new ALSA modules > > > From: "Wallace, Brooke" <brookew@xxxxxxxxxxxx> > > > I was able to unload the remaining snd* modules and then > use insmod to > > loadup the modules generated by my compile of the > alsa-drivers 1.0.14 > > drop.
