Thanks Jason.<br>
<br>
I indeed had the OSS driver selected along with the ALSA one.<br>
<br>
That solved it.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

Hi Gilles,
Is this the first time you are trying to use the ALSA drivers?
Make sure you have the alsa-base, alsa-headers, alsa-utils, and
libasound2 (or maybe libasound1 on sarge) packages.
Did you include the old OSS drivers in the kernel? If yes, they could be
conflicting with your alsa drivers:
Check what alsa modules are loaded:
# lsmod | grep "snd-"
Use rmmod to unload the old OSS drivers if necessairy. Then run:
# modprobe <name of the alsa module for your audio card>
"alsaconf" should have told you the name of the module to use for your
card. The module starts with "snd-".
Finally, check the permissions on /dev/snd/* and make sure they are r/w
for the "audio" group. Then make sure your username is in the audio
group. "groups <your username>" should tell you what groups you are in.
The permissions should look like:
crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 0 Apr 2 13:44 controlC0
crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 32 Apr 2 13:44 controlC1
...
etc.
I hope this helps.

Everything is fine except for the Alsa part.
I have used alsaconf and snddevices to configure everything. Alsaconf
recognize my sound card without any problem. However, when I do an
"alsactl restore", I get "alsactl: load_state:1134: No soundcards
found...". If I start alsamizer, I get "alsamixer: function
snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device".
The other weird thing is that, if I start XMMS, I of course get an error
when I configure it to work directly with Alsa. However, it works fine
if I configure XMMS to work with OSS.
