Sound Problems! [FXx]

Hi guys,

i need your help with my sound. i read the documentation on www.alsa-project.org & everything seems fine when i set up my sound. i load my modules :

modprobe snd-intel8x0;modprobe snd-pcm-oss;modprobe snd-mixer-oss;modprobe snd-seq-oss

but when i want to play a song in XMMS, i get an error that there is no such a device /dev/mixer.
i found out that i have /dev/sound/mixer . is there a way to move it to /dev/mixer or how can i set up XMMS & maybe the rest of my programs to use /dev/sound/mixer?

maybe i am close to setting up my sound, but i need your help.

thanks for any suggestions.

Regards, Shemeta

Here's a good guide on setting up alsa in arch...

Plus, loads in different threads in this forum - if you do a search on alsa you should be able to get all the info you need.

Re: Sound Problems! [FXx]

of no help to your problem what so ever but so you know, modprobe can take multiple arguments, so instead of:

modprobe module; modprobe module; modprobe module etc etc

you can easily do:

modprobe module0 module1 module3 etc etc

every little counts
