XMMS help!
 

I am having a little problem with XMMS...

When I open XMMS and try to up the volume I get this error. I don't think this is actually an XMMS error but this is where occured.

** WARNING **: oss_set_volume(): Failed to open mixer device (/dev/mixer): No such device

Any suggestions?

does your sound work at all? ie: as root or as any other user?

you may have to do chmod 666 /dev/mixer

I don't know, I just barely got it to install.. here's the output of my "lsmod"

Module Size Used by Not tainted
sb 7636 0 (unused)
sb_lib 35470 0 [sb]
uart401 6500 0 [sb_lib]
sound 55668 0 [sb_lib uart401]
soundcore 3332 2 [sb_lib sound]
isa-pnp 30724 0 [sb]

Also, I have already tried to chmod 666 dsp and mixer

What kind of soundcard do you have?

All the info is in my sig...

Sound Blaster 16 ISA PNP

I think I missed a step? I got my sb recognized but the /dev/dsp and the /dev/mizer don't seem to be doing anything? Anyone have a how-to?

Get the latest ALSA drivers for your sound card...

ALSA site

Are the ALSA drivers better than the drivers I already have installed?

I get this error when trying to load the sound card drivers.

/lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/sound/isa/sb/snd-sb16.o: init_module: No such device
/lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/sound/isa/sb/snd-sb16.o: Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg
/lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/sound/isa/sb/snd-sb16.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/sound/isa/sb/snd-sb16.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/sound/isa/sb/snd-sb16.o: insmod snd-sb16 failed

The only way I have been able to get the sound card loaded was with...

modules.conf:
alias char-major-14 sb
alias sound-slot-0 sb
options sound dmabuf=1
options mpu401 io=0x330 irq=9
alias midi mpu401
options opl3 io=0x388
alias midi opl3
options modprobe sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 dma16=5 mpu_io=0x330 pnplegacy=1

rc.modules:
/bin/modprobe sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 dma16=5 mpu_io=0x330 pnplegacy=1

check dmesg whether the irq,dma,io info matches here
and "man isapnp" maybe help
