hi there, i'm using debian sid, kernel 2.4.22 (just grabbed it yesterday). i was running the stock debian 2.4.18bf.24 kernel, perhaps i'll try to go back to compile against that one. but i figured the emi 2|6 loading was handled by the kernel itself after 2.4.19 so i would be able to get it work without alsa (which i've never had much luck installing) on a 2.4.22 kernel. any help is always appreciated! best, nick > On 08/26/03 18:06:00, nick phillips wrote: > > so everything looks like it's working great, but i can't get any > sound > > output from anything - xmms, pd, audacity, etc. xmms complains of > > 'permission denied', but i tried 'chmod 666 /dev/dsp' to no avail. i > > also disabled all sound servers (eds, artsd) to make sure no program > was > > claiming the soundcard, and did an 'fuser /dev/dsp', nothing shows > up. > > most other programs complain that "/dev/dsp: no such device exists." > am > > i missing a step? should the emi be outputting through /dev/dsp or > some > > other device? > > What distro and what kernel? > We are currently experiencing the same problem with ALL sound cards on > Mandrake Cooker.
