[linux-audio-user] Now, no sound at all.

In seeing if I could dub through the UA-30, I discovered that the device itself is apparently broken. Playing a tape through its LINE IN inputs, I only got one channel. Carefully testing things on the tape deck, cabling, and UA-30, I determined that nothing is coming in via the right channel input of the UA-30. This appears to make all other questions about using it moot. So I pulled the UA-30, and tried to play another MP3 through XMMS. It told me that it couldn't, and suggested that there was no soundcard configured. I rebooted, and things got worse, with no sound at all happening through anything. I have the following in /var/log/messages: Jun 25 17:55:16 localhost modprobe: /lib/modules/2.4.21-0.13mdk/kernel/sound/aco re/snd.o: Jun 25 17:55:16 localhost modprobe: unresolved symbol snd_verbose_printk Jun 25 17:55:16 localhost modprobe: modprobe: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.21-0.13mdk /kernel/sound/acore/snd.o failed Jun 25 17:55:16 localhost modprobe: modprobe: insmod snd-ens1371 failed I tried several things that the Troubleshooting window in draksound suggested: [root@localhost jzitt]# lspcidrake -v | fgrep AUDIO es1371 : Ensoniq|CT5880 [MULTIMEDIA_AUDIO] (vendor:1274 device:5880 subv:1458 subd:a000) [root@localhost jzitt]# grep sound-slot /etc/modules.conf alias sound-slot-0 snd-ens1371 [root@localhost jzitt]# /sbin/lsmod Module Size Used by Not tainted sr_mod 16920 0 (autoclean) (unused) ide-cd 33856 0 (autoclean) cdrom 31648 0 (autoclean) [sr_mod ide-cd] parport_pc 25096 1 (autoclean) lp 8096 0 (autoclean) parport 34176 1 (autoclean) [parport_pc lp] nfsd 74256 8 (autoclean) ppp_async 9216 0 (unused) ppp_generic 24060 0 [ppp_async] slhc 6564 0 [ppp_generic] af_packet 14952 0 (autoclean) floppy 55132 0 tulip 44032 0 (autoclean) (unused) supermount 15296 3 (autoclean) usb-storage 72952 0 (unused) scsi_mod 103284 1 [sr_mod usb-storage] usb-uhci 24652 0 (unused) usbcore 72992 1 [usb-storage usb-uhci] rtc 8060 0 (autoclean) ext3 59916 3 jbd 38972 3 [ext3] [root@localhost jzitt]# modprobe snd-ens1371 /lib/modules/2.4.21-0.13mdk/kernel/sound/acore/snd.o: unresolved symbol snd_verbose_printk modprobe: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.21-0.13mdk/kernel/sound/acore/snd.o failed modprobe: insmod snd-ens1371 failed [root@localhost jzitt]# /sbin/fuser -v /dev/dsp /dev/dsp: No such file or directory [root@localhost jzitt]# /sbin/chkconfig --list sound sound 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off [root@localhost jzitt]# /sbin/chkconfig --list alsa alsa 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off [root@localhost jzitt]# aumix -q aumix: error opening mixer [root@localhost jzitt]# Do any of these suggest anything that I should be doing? Have I completely destroyed all possibility of doing sound on my system, or does it only look that way? *sigh* After years -- literally -- of trying to get this stuff to work, it's still completely unintelligible to me.
