I recently reinstalled Debian. Previously I had sound working in schroot without a problem. I simply added the user to the audio group ran alsaconf and it worked.
Alsaconf has been removed from squeeze so I tried from Lenny. Alsaconf installs but does not find the sound card in the schroot. In deed it seems to be looking for amd64 modules (those of the host system).
lsmod from chroot:
Code:
snd 46446 11 snd_via82xx,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm,snd_mpu401_uart,snd_rawmidi,snd_timer,snd_seq_device
lsmod from host:
Code:
snd 46446 11 snd_via82xx,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm,snd_mpu401_uart,snd_rawmidi,snd_timer,snd_seq_device
This is the error message when trying to play a sound in the chroot:
Code:
ALSA lib confmisc.c:768:(parse_card) cannot find card '0'
ALSA lib conf.c:4154:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_card_driver returned error: No such device

ALSA lib pcm.c:2211:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM default
Couldn't open audio device!
reason: [Couldn't open timidity.cfg].
Oh, and oddly enough:
Code:
# ls /dev/*audio*
/dev/audio /dev/audio0 /dev/audio1 /dev/audio2 /dev/audio3
when I directly use:
Code:
#chroot /chroot/squeeze-32/
I have sound.
When I comment out the line with directory (changing type to 'plain') in /etc/schroot/schroot.conf sound works.
Code:
