Last Monday 02 August 2004 15:34, Laura Conrad was like:
I upgraded my kernel from 2.4.18 to 2.4.26, and now I
can't play
sounds. Any time I try, the program just hangs until I ^C out of it.
No messages appear in /var/log/messages, or on the console.
I have a Debian unstable system with an SBLive soundcard. (There's
also a sound system on the motherboard, but that never confused it
before.)
I have in the past managed to run Alsa, but getting it installed has
never been fun, so since I'm only doing fairly simple-minded things
like playing MIDI and having card sounds on my solitaire game, I've
been just running OSS.
I can't see anything wrong with the permissions on the /dev files, or
with the list of modules that's being loaded. I just uploaded the
latest version of that kernel-image, and the July 22 version has the
same problem as the May 1 version.
Does anyone have any ideas about what to try next?
Get the 2.4.25-multimedia kernel from AGNULA
add this to your sources list:
deb
http://apt.agnula.org/demudi testing main local extra
read this:
http://www.agnula.org/download/demudi/1.2.0-FAQ/
and
http://wiki.agnula.org for further advice
It's by far the fastest way to get a working audio system with Debian.
