Re: [LAD] ASUS mobo NEW thread - started OT for another tread

I just now rebooted to 2.6.28-rc6, and I still get this at the x start: =================== Sound server informational message: Error while initializing the sound driver: device: default can't be opened for playback (Connection refused) The sound server will continue, using the null output device. ==================== I don't know what device the 'default device' is, although a cat of /proc/asound/cards returns this list: 0 [Audigy2 ]: Audigy2 - Audigy 2 Value [SB0400] Audigy 2 Value [SB0400] (rev.0, serial:0x10011102) at 0xac00, irq 17 1 [NVidia ]: HDA-Intel - HDA NVidia HDA NVidia at 0xfe024000 irq 21 2 [HDMI ]: HDA-Intel - HDA ATI HDMI HDA ATI HDMI at 0xfddfc000 irq 16

And I have this in /dev: [root@coyote ~]# ls -l /dev/a* crw-rw---- 1 root root 14, 14 2008-11-29 10:39 /dev/admmidi crw-rw----+ 1 root root 14, 12 2008-11-29 10:39 /dev/adsp crw-rw----+ 1 root root 14, 28 2008-11-29 10:39 /dev/adsp1 crw-rw----+ 1 root root 14, 13 2008-11-29 10:39 /dev/amidi crw-rw----+ 1 root root 14, 4 2008-11-29 10:39 /dev/audio crw-rw----+ 1 root root 14, 20 2008-11-29 10:39 /dev/audio1 crw-rw---- 1 root root 10, 60 2008-11-29 10:39 /dev/autofs Here is /etc/alsa/pulse-default.conf: ================= # PulseAudio plugin configuration # Let's create a virtual device "pulse" for mixer and PCM pcm.pulse { type pulse } ctl.pulse { type pulse } # Let's make it the default! pcm.!default { type pulse } ctl.!default { type pulse } ===============

Which gives me no clue as to what the 'default device' might be either. So here is /etc/alsa/alsa.conf: [snip]

and I had no idea it was that long. It does say card0 near the top, and if that is in the order assigned in my modprobe.conf, and in the cat of /proc/asound/cards then it is the audigy2 (emu10k1 driver) Who, or what is denying permissions as shown by the startup message above? Thanks folks.
