I am aware of thread:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...5&pagenumber=1
However, I hate hijackers so I would rather not be one myself.
That thread apparently does not have a resolution yet.
I am using Mandrake 10.1, installed two weeks ago. To the best of my knowledge, everything works except for sound. No sound has come out the speakers since Mdk was installed. If I try the play command I get:
sox: Unable to reset OSS driver. Possibly accessing an invalid file/device
/dev/dsp is not set as executable. I tried chmod +x'ing it and got no result. ls /dev/sound gives me audio, sequencer, and sequencer2, all ln's that simply ../ back to the parent directory.
lsmod shows me: (among other things)
cs46xx 63820 0
ac97_codec 16844 1 cs46xx
ad1848 30140 0
uart401 9092 0
sound 72428 2 ad1848,uart401
soundcore 7008 2 cs46xx,sound
Harddrake (gui wizard) shows my sound card as a Cirrus CS4610
The other thread mentions running alsaconf. A search of /sbin shows nothing that contains alsa. However, when I urpmi (mdk apt-get) for alsa, it says that is already installed.
Kmix says no mixers are installed (current mixer list is blank).
What steps would be recommended to test sound capabilities? Could someone point me in the right direction? Thanks.
