Hi!

ALSA leads me to madness! Only you can save me!
However, I compiled and installed alsa-driver, alsa-libs and alsa-utils. I
recompiled my kernel but I got the same errors:

I did alsaconf and its ok then I did alsactl store and he told me "No
soundcard found" he lies!!!
When I did alsamixer "he" told: alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for
default: No such device

I guess I did some mistakes!

Slackware 10current, 2.4.28 recompiled

Do you have a module loaded for that? Try

lsmod | fgrep emu10k1

thats my output:

thank you

Okay, you shouldn't have snd-ac97 there if you are using emu10k1.
ac97, well, intel8x0 is for mostly onboard stuff, mostly nforce and
nforce2 audio, and other intel eratta. What exactly is your kernel
config for sound? what kernel BTW?

Hi, thank for answer

snd-ac97 is installed by alsa-driver into kernel modules while I have
compiled alsa with use card emu10k1.

My kernel config for sound section is all empty except emu10k1 compiled as
module. Kernel is 2.4.28.

any aids?

I got an error when trying to load snd-emu10k1

The snd_ac97 is used by the emul alsa sound, so that looks okay AFAICT,
but the "initializing" comment doesn't look good. I suspect that there's
a problem getting the card setup.
