Hello everyone,
I have recently been trying to switch from OSS to ALSA with no luck.
I have spent really alot of time and effort (googlin & reading manuals)
trying to resolve that problem so ur my only hope
when running alsamixer I get the following error:
alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device
However alsaconf detects correctly my sound card (ali5451).
I have alsa-base and alsamixer and alsautils installed.
I have discover installed as well. OSS is working very fine but I cant
get fullduplex to work so thats why I am switching to ALSA.
I am running Debian testing with kernel 2.6.7 and KDE 3.2.2 so ALSA
modules are complied with the kernel.
