Ok, I have an ati ixp sound card, (atleast it runs under snd_atiixp) and after an entire two days of trying to fix the card I realised that my PCM was muted. The problem is this: aumix won't find a device, and when I tried cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp I got a file not found. Then I tried cat /dev/urandom > /dev/sound/dsp. Again, file not found. At this point I realised somethig was wrong
. I cd'ed to /dev/sound, and the directory doesn't even exist (I do have /dev though, fortunately). Any ideas? I think that's why aumix can't find my card. by the way, /proc/asound/cards shows my card. Any ideas?
Thanks,
