[gentoo-dev] alsa 0.9

[gentoo-dev] alsa 0.9

[Chuck Haines]

I am having the damndest time with alsa 0.9.  I have installed everything 
that is suppose to be installed, 
alsa-lib,alsa-driver,alsa-utils,alsa-tools.  I have edited the config files 
like I was told.   When i run /etc/init.d/alsasound start and type lsmod, I 
can see that all the modules are there and I get no errors.  However, when 
I try to run amixer as root or as my user, it keeps sef faulting (amixer 
that it).  I have checked the perms in /dev/snd/ and /dev/sound and both of 
the directories have perms crw-rw---- crypto audio.  Crypto is my user (I 
have no idea why the perms aren't root audio like I have devfs.conf set up 
to do).  I have tried with both these settings and crw-rw---- root audio 
and amixer still seg faults.  My user is part of the audio group.

anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

Have you tried using alsamixer? I think amixer is for use with the older 
versions of alsa.

I don't know if you're referring to /etc/asound.state... if so then you 
just need to do

	alsactl store

as root to create one, but it's strange you don't have one already since 
this is done automatically in /etc/init.d/alsasound in the first time, I 
think.

Perhaps you forgot to update an old /etc/init.d/alsasound from a ._cfg* 
when you updated alsa or something...

hello,

do:

#rc-update del alsa
#rc-update add alsasound boot

i think you didn't update the init scripts since alsa have a new name for the 
init script.

how can you unmute the sound with alsamixer?

on boot my system allways mutes the sound because I don't have a 
/etc/asound.conf...
so.. i have to
$ amixer sset PCM 30 unmute
$ amixer sset Master 62 unmute
so that I can have sound...

I didn't found a way to greate a asound.conf ..I anyone can tell me that 
too I would apreciate... allready looked in the howtos and in the gentoo 
channel..

thanx!
