Alsa Sound Error: reduced sound to stereo from 5.1 after kernel upgrade
Hi,
I just compiled the new 2.6.16.19 kernel, having upgraded from the 2.6.15.4 version because of a mildly annoying bug. All the past times I've upgraded, I've chosen not to not compile in alsa support (but I have included sound card support), opting to instead compile seperately.
However, this latest time I haven't met with much success. I first tried installing it with the latest 1.0.11 drivers, but I only get stereo sound (as opposed to the 5.1 sound I got before I upgraded my kernel). Reverting to my previous 1.0.10 drivers hasn't fixed anything.
I'm presently using slackware 10.2, with an Creative Audigy 2 card.
When I try to run alsamixer, I get the following error:
alsamixer: function snd_mixer_load failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device
A google search on the above error didn't generate any useful results. I'm at a little bit of a loss here, and would really appreciate any sort of help. It seems my upgrade had something to do with it, but I compared my previous .config files, and I can't see anything too different (although there were some changes made).
I'd really like to get my woofer, center, and rear speakers back online - it's not the same listening to music without a good bass line...
Many thanks,
Victor
