zinf problems

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



When I did compile zinf, it detected that I had alsa installed correctly.
If I could get zinf to work with a plain sound card driver, such as that
in the kernel, then I would go back to figure out why it
doesn't work with alsa, but I can't get any
sound from zinf even with kernel sound drivers.
