Hi, I'm having REALLY bad times with alsa. But maybe it's just because I have absolutely NO knowledge with linux administration and so on. I've bought alsa compatible card. Here's installation guide http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Module-echo3g I've finally managed to compile alsa-utils, alsa-lib and alsa-driver (not in that order), simply by following that guide. I have no idea what NB shortcut means but I have to run ./snddevices contrary to claim NB:If you are using drivers before 0.9.4 then you need to run ... since otherwise /dev/snd does not contain new devices. I've inserted modules to kernel with modprobe snd-echo3g ; modprobe snd-pcm-oss ; modprobe snd-mixer-oss ; modprobe snd-seq-oss and they are printed out with command lsmod so I think this is ok. But when I run alsamixer (or amixer), which is in installation guide the next step, I'm getting message alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device What's wrong? Absolutely everything was ran under root privileges, running /snddevices again didnt help, in another forum I found recomendation, that one has to set default card with command asoundconf, but asoundconf list does not print out any available card. My distribution is kubuntu 8.04.02, kernel version 2.6.24.23, system is in state after install, which was performed with attached sound card. This is just first step, I of course will have to install jack. I'm just mentioning it in case this info matters. thanks in advance for every help. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Register Now & Save for Velocity, the Web Performance & Operations Conference from O'Reilly Media.
