I think the chipset is fairly common for my card but after installing the new cooking (after my previous installation was constantly hanging at the gui login for a few months), I can't get sound working. When I try to run alsamixer after installing all alsa related programs, it says "cannot open mixer: no such file or directory. Then when I try to open alsaplayer, a huge list of errors follows about how no card is found. When I look at proprietary drivers from the system menu snd_cmipci is detected but it just says "missing module!" I could have told it that! How can I get the module and load it? On an unrelated note, this new forum sure is clumsy! May as well just do a threaded newsgroup or something.
Oh I should also mention, I have the Turtle Beach Montego ddl, with 24/96 and all of that.It works well under xubuntu. It's a great card except for its lack of midi.
Also, when following directions for adding users to a group: After adding a user and then adduser user -G audio it says login 'user' is in use. How should I proceed? This has not changed after a reboot.
nope, it says no new packages. The problem with no sound still exists. alsaplayer on the commandline shows: snd_pcm_open No such file or directory Failed to initialize plugin alsalib failed to find card 0 etc etc etc Also, when I try to open alsamixer it says no such file or directory. Do you think my installation is just bad, like the alsa utils package failed to install properly?
More interesting: When I issue command: modprobe snd_cmipci I receive this: insmod: cannot insert '/lib/modules/2.6.30.6-slitaz/kernel/sound/pci/snd-cmipci.ko.gz':unknown symbol in module modprobe: failed to load module snd_cmipci: no such file or directory.
Ok, after tazpkg get-install linux-sound --forced, it still didn't work but installing your package worked! Thank you so much! I vow to bring some other linux nerd out of the wilderness in your honor.
Interestingly after tazpkg recharge tazpkg upgrade last night (which involved an alsa upgrade) and rebooting, slitaz said that it couldn't find my soundcard again. alsamixer is not found. alsa-utils is already installed.
