i have compiled the required driver for my creative vibra 128 soundcard as module in kernel 2.6 but still no sound.
funny thing is that i got this compiled as module in kernel 2.6
sound/sound card support as module
sound/Advanced Linux Sound Architecture/PCI devices/(Creative) Ensoniq AudioPCI 1371/1373 (SND_ENS1371) as module
so what is missing here?
i compiled the required soundcard driver in kernel but still i get this message when bootup and loginto KDE 3.1 and it gives me an error message:-
Sound server informational message:
Error while initializing the sound driver:
device /dev/dsp can't be opened (No such file or directory)
The sound server will continue, using the null output device.
Did you enable OSS emulation?
Did you enable OSS emulation? Most apps that don't natively play through ALSA yet, so you have to have OSS emulation, to get them to work the old way...
yup i did compile OSS emu in
yup i did compile OSS emu in to the kernel as module.
i think by default it dont load the module when bootup.
what should i do?
load the module manually?
and how to do that?
I think its just easier to bu
I think its just easier to build the emulation right into the kernel, but if you wanted to load it automatically, you do 'modprobe [module_name]'. Going to help on the option should tell you what it is.
i do modprobe but this is wha
i do modprobe but this is what i get:-
[laiseng@localhost laiseng]$ modprobe snd-ens1371
bash: modprobe: command not found
I can't help but notice, that
I can't help but notice, that doesn't look like root your running under. modprobe has to be done from root, as it deals with kernel stuff. If you do it as root, and still get the same error, do /sbin/modprobe
add user to audio group
If there is a group that has access to /dev/dsp, you may want to add yourself to that group.
try this: 'locate modprobe'
try this:
'locate modprobe'
This will return the location of the modprobe, if u have one--like /sbin/modprobe.
then give this full path.
Same problem
I have a CL PCI 128 card with ENS1371 chipset and I get exactly the
same problem. OSS emulation is selected and I have all the aliases in
modprobe.conf. The module won't load on-demand but after 'modprobe snd-ens1371' you see the module coming active and allocating IRQ 10.
However, using play or KDE results in the message /dev/dsp does not
exist. The h/w is clearly recognised, so some problem with ALSA...?
-Robin.
me too...
I got exactly the same prob with an es1371.. I just
compiled my kernel with OSS rather than ALSA. Works
perfect.
not me too...
I tried this. Modules es1371 loads okay but I still get /dev/dsp does not exist. What /etc/modprobe.conf entries did you use?
options sb io=0x220 irq=7 dma
options sb io=0x220 irq=7 dma=1 dma16=5 mpu_io=0x330
this is the only relevant line in modprobe.conf..
I was getting that error I think.. I'm not sure
what I did to fix it though...
Do you have /dev/sound/dsp? Cos my /dev/dsp -> /dev/sound/dsp/
I also run esd, so that might have dealt with it
for me...
If you need anymore info, please ask.
/dev/dsp
Try downloading the alsa-driver-1.0.0rc2 package and running the snddevices script inside. It will create some device nodes, which helped me solve similar problems. One caveat: I'm not using devfs, since it is now deprecated.
es1371 and 2.6.3 - kde problems
I did all the things posted here: compile with ALSA, OSS emulation layer, everything looks fine.
/dev/dsp DOES exist... but, when i start arts from kde control panel, i get an error message "cpu overloaded" or something like that, and sound vanishes back.
Everything was perfect under 2.4.20 and 2.4.22.
This work
This work. I had this problem in Ubuntu Linux, Warty release.
