[gentoo-user] two(related?) sound problems

[maxim wexler]

Hello everybody,

>From the boot console:

* Restoring Mixer Levels
/usr/sbin/alsactl: set_control:994: bad
control.7.value type
No state is present for card UART  !!!                
                      


Sound still works but about 1/2 an hour after having
started realplayer sound stops without any error that
I can find. Then if I try another player ogg, mpg etc
I get "can't open /dev/dsp." Have to reboot in order
to play any audio.

Here's the code:

$amixer
[...]
Simple mixer control 'Surround',0
  Capabilities: pvolume pswitch
  Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right
  Limits: Playback 0 - 31
  Front Left: Playback 0 [0%] [off]
  Front Right: Playback 0 [0%] [off]
[...]

$cat /etc/asound.state
[...]
}
        control.7 {
                comment.access 'read write'
                comment.type BOOLEAN
                comment.count 1
                iface MIXER
                name 'Surround Playback Switch'
                value false
        }
[...]

$amixer contents
[...]
numid=7,iface=MIXER,name='Surround Playback Switch'
  ; type=BOOLEAN,access=rw---,values=2
  : values=off,off
[...]

This says that the /etc/asound.state file is not correct for the
hardware in the system. Remove it by hand, run alsamixer by hand, then
do an alsactl store. Hopefully that will get it fixed for you.

If that doesn't work then post back stuff like lsmod,
/proc/asound/cards , etc. and we'll get it going.

cheers,
Mark

PS - I'm trying to get my new AMD64 going now. Problems with LVM2....
