[linux-audio-user] re : emi 26 - Linux-audio-user

26 Aug 2003

hi there,

i'm using debian sid, kernel 2.4.22 (just grabbed it yesterday). i was
running the stock debian 2.4.18bf.24 kernel, perhaps i'll try to go back
to compile against that one. but i figured the emi 2|6 loading was
handled by the kernel itself after 2.4.19 so i would be able to get it
work without alsa (which i've never had much luck installing) on a
2.4.22 kernel.

any help is always appreciated!

best,
nick

xmms complains of

 also disabled all sound servers (eds, artsd) to make sure no program  was
  claiming the soundcard, and did an 'fuser
/dev/dsp', nothing shows  up.
  most other programs complain that "/dev/dsp:
no such device exists."  am
  i missing a step? should the emi be outputting
through /dev/dsp or  some
  other device?  
 What distro and what kernel?
 We are currently experiencing the same problem with ALL sound cards on
 Mandrake Cooker.  Could you test this on any other cards without
 changing the 
 alsa setup or kernel?
 It would be VERY helpful for us to know that this is a kernel problem
 and not 
 an alsa problem.

 Thanks,
