Continuing KDE Sound Issues

ddu_ · 12-20-2004, 11:29 AM

First off -
Running Slackware 10.0 w/KDE 3.3.2
Sony Vaio PCG-GRX560 Laptop

I get this message when KDE initializes:

Code:

Informational -artsmessage
Sound Server Information Message
Error while initializing the sound driver
device /dev/dsp can't be opened (no such device)
The sound server will continue using the null output device

The output of lspci -v shows this:

Code:

00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corp. 82801CA/CAM AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 02)
        Subsystem: Sony Corporation: Unknown device 80fa
        Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 0, IRQ 9
        I/O ports at 1c00 [size=256]
        I/O ports at 18c0 [size=64]

and running alsaconf shows that no drivers are available. Suggestions?

Could we see the output of lsmod as well please?
good luck.

This seems to have changed since the last time I saw this output, but here it is

I don't see the sound modules, what kernel are you using? Have you tried modprobing the modules?
good luck.
