Sound?

I cant get it to work on any distro

Yes, I tried alsamixer.

Is your card configured? Run alsaconf (as root) first to try and configure your card. Then turn all the volumes up, then run (as root):

Code:

alsactl store

to store the settings.

I heard that removing all ALSA packages from slackware and recompiling the source will fix things, but I'm too lazy for that. I just want it to work!!! grr....

Edit: I meant to click edit....damnit!

I tried alsaconf, then alsactl store (and alsamixer) and got this when trying to use xmms

Code:

** WARNING **&#58; oss_open&#40;&#41;&#58; Failed to open audio device &#40;/dev/dsp&#41;&#58; Device or resource busy

try changing the output plugin in xmms

options--->preferences---->output plugin---->alsa

**peaceofpi** · 09-20-2005

so close! I did what you said and still get the popup:

Code:

Please check that&#58;

Your soundcard is configured properly
You have the correct output plugin selected
No other program is blocking the soundcard.

and the good old

Code:

** WARNING **&#58; alsa_setup&#40;&#41;&#58; Failed to open pcm device &#40;default&#41;&#58; Device or resource busy
