I have also discovered that kmix appears as a gray window without any sliders
or labels. Alsamixer shows one slider labelled DAC, which will adjust. I also
got an error message with says: Mixer device /dev/mixer is missing volume and
PCM controls.
Gentoo uses devfsd, so I am wondering if I need to set some devices in
devfsd.conf.
Thanks again, John
I just did a fresh Gentoo 1.4 install in a new
machine with an RME 96/8 PAD
card, which uses the rme96 driver. System sounds now come to my hifi system
through the rme card, so I think the driver is loading and working.
I cannot get Audacity or Ardour to record, however. Audacity works fine in
the
same machine when using the monopolist's operating system, however. Running
on that partition, Audacity finds 11 or 12 sound devices, the 8 RME
channels
and the builtin VIA sound chip devices. Under Linux, Audacity only finds
/dev/dsp, and sometimes not that.
How do I get Audacity to see other devices, or is that my problem?
John
This seems like a simple(tm) setup problem.
Can you send us the output of...
lsmod; cat /proc/asound/cards
That will give us an overview of your setup.

I don't use devfsd (yet) but IIRC you shouldn't run the ./snddevices
script after installing the alsa-driver package. It seems to cause
problems.
Miriam should be able to give more light on this as she recently
conquered the problem.

Being on stage with the band in front of crowds shouting, "Get off! No!
We want normal music!", I think that was more like acting than anything
I've ever done.

hi, yes thats exactly what i ended up doing... i'm using Mandrake 9.0
and alsa CVS from a few months back (havent had time / havent dared to
upgrade since it was working so nicely!)...
its very important *not* to run snddevices on a devfs machine. from a
clean install of mdk 9.0 i left all the alsa rpms in place (this is
important too. not sure if they do anything settings-wise but if you
remove them you risk killing KDE and the knock-on effect of mangling
X... which is what happened to me, even though i restored all the KDE
rpms...)
the only thing necessary to do is tar up and then remove all the alsa
modules from /lib/modules *except* for soundcore of course. build cvs
and install as normal. *dont* run snddevices.
i hope this will work on all devfs machines... it seems to work well on
mdk 9 on my thinkpad anyhow....
good luck!
