Please note that I'm not very experienced at all with dealing with sound on Linux, this is the first time I've attempted to get sound working.
When I try to play a sound file in amaroK (running on Fluxbox) it outputs the error message:
Quote:
[GStreamer error] Device "dev/dsp" does not exist.
|
even though it does appear to exist (as a symbolic link):
Code:
$ ls -l /dev/dsp
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 2006-03-24 22:32 /dev/dsp -> /dev/dsp0
Similarly, XMMS outputs
Quote:
Please check that:
Your sound card is configured properly
You have the correct output plugin selected
No other program is blocking the sound care

When I try to run alsaconf, it outputs:
Code:
modinfo: could not find module snd
modinfo: could not find module snd
modinfo: could not find module snd

I will post my lspci. Perhaps it will help.

Also, I am running Debian 3.1 with version 2.6.16 of the kernel. It was compiled with (modularized) sound support.
