(I know this is alot of crap, but here's my point)

Now! When I run amixer I get this :

# amixer
amixer: Mixer attach default error: No such file or directory

I run alsamixer and get this:

# alsamixer

alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory

What have I done wrong? Or haven't done? I know alot of people have gotten the alsa drivers to work on their machine, but I can't get it right. When I googled, I kept getting answers like run the snddevices script, did you run the snddevices script, have you tried the snddevices script and so forth. Please help! Thanks a million :).

Oh, and my modconf looks like this:

oh, and I don't know if this matters or not, but KDE's kMix (like all the other KDE multimedia apps) just fakes about loading, then disappears off into the pool of dead apps.

Ok, forget about this, I have another comp with Mandrake. Same problem except I have devfs and it's an Intel AC'97 on-board card.

MasterC 06-22-2002 03:05 AM

Try aumix, or gmix
See if they also trail off
Just open an Xterm and type it in

well, the mandy comp dosen't seem to have these mixers :(, but my slack comp had gmix (didn't try aumix - was too excited) and it WORKED! :) :) :) :) That's awesome! THanks! Now I have hope for the mandy comp :) Thanks alot, MasterC.

Glad I could help...

My mandy has all 3, I don't know what package they would be in though. Let me see if I can poke around and find out for ya.

ftp://ftp.rpmfind.net/linux/Mandrake...7-9mdk.src.rpm

That's for mandy, it's the aumix
