no such device for sound
I try to configure my sound card,a Sound Blaster Audigy, for my Slackware 10.2.
In first I run alsaconf and the program found my card and install that correctly, but when I try to run alsamixer the terminal saw me: no such device.Also when I launch the x kde there is an error message that the sound server cannot start for the same problem: no such device. What can I do? Sorry for my english and thanks in advance for your support. |
Is /etc/rc.d/rc.alsa executable?
If not, then the sound modules would not be loaded (even though correctly configured), hence the alsamixer and KDE errors. |
You have to re-compile the kernel with support for that card. I have the same card and it works with no issue, you can do some reading as I am sure you will learn how to compile a kernel as it is is easy
make menuconfig make bzlilo; make modules; make modules_install; reboot |

Try adding your user account to the audio group:
Code:
gpasswd -a username audio |
