[gentoo-user] after emerge -Du world - - no sound no errors

Hello everyone,

Sound files played fine prior to the update.

When unit boots speakers thump at "Loading:
snd-seq-oss..."as before.

Sound files "play" but without sound and without any
sort of error. Nothing in dmesg, messages amiss.
alsasound(newly created in /etc/init.d) is listed in 
/etc/runlevels/boot and properly linked.

Only hint that something is wrong: boot console fails
to display mixer settings as before.

Yes, my username *is* in the audio group.

Must be something simple, but what?

Idea #1: Put alsasound in default, rather than boot runlevel. There is
no use for sound in the boot runlevel, and having it there often causes
(weird, inexplicable) problems.

Idea #2: might something have gone wonky with your mixer settings?

HTH,
Holly

boot is what the gentoo alsa docs say to do, although they aren't always
right for all situations

very very likely, and perhaps tied in with:


Idea #3

new config options in /etc/conf.d/alsasound: you probably want to enable
SAVE_ON_STOP and RESTORE_ON_START

nick@sf /etc $ less /etc/conf.d/alsasound
# ENABLE_OSS_EMUL:
# Do you want to enable in-kernel oss emulation?
# no - Do not load oss emul drivers
# yes - Load oss emul drivers if they're found

ENABLE_OSS_EMUL="yes"

# RESTORE_ON_START:
# Do you want to restore your mixer settings?  If not, your cards will be
# muted.
# no - Do not restore state
# yes - Restore state

RESTORE_ON_START="yes"

# SAVE_ON_STOP:
# Do you want to save changes made to your mixer volumes when alsasound
# stops?
# no - Do not save state
# yes - Save state

SAVE_ON_STOP="yes"

Doesn't work. madplay gives the error

Audio: esd_open_sound() failed

but the other players xmms, ogg123, mpg123 churn away
as if nothing was wrong

I don't know about your computer, but on my desktop, to get sound to
play, I also need to turn on Headphones
