Hi list, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
This is about my struggle to make my Trust 514DX soundcard work with |
| 4 |
Linux. This is expected to be supported in Linux [alsa-project.org] and |
| 5 |
I have read other testimonials on the net. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
To cut a long story short, the card worked in Windows. It gives |
| 8 |
fantastic sound output with DVDs and other suitable audios but I'd |
| 9 |
rather have it working on my Gentoo desktop where I have made everything |
| 10 |
else work so far. I admit that I have never had to manually set |
| 11 |
anything alsa/oss as all my previous soundcards worked very easily with |
| 12 |
default settings of the modules. Also, I feel that if I posted |
| 13 |
everything that I have done so far, the mail shall be really long. But |
| 14 |
the following may help to understand the problem. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Alsa is started as a service on my comp. I thought it may just be that a |
| 17 |
newer-than-in-kernel code may help. The error that I have, from say |
| 18 |
Mplayer, is as follows. |
| 19 |
............. |
| 20 |
Checking audio filter chain for 48000Hz/2ch/s16le -> 48000Hz/2ch/s16le... |
| 21 |
AF_pre: 48000Hz/2ch/s16le |
| 22 |
[AO OSS] audio_setup: Can't open audio device /dev/dsp: No such file or |
| 23 |
directory |
| 24 |
alsa-init: 1 soundcard found, using: default |
| 25 |
ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:819:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave |
| 26 |
alsa-init: playback open error: No such file or directory |
| 27 |
............ |

1. Can you please help me understand why the /dev/dsp* aren't created |
| 30 |
at all? |
| 31 |
2. Can I expect to continue using aumix once the whole thing is set |
| 32 |
up correctly? [I dont mind using alsamixer though] |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Please reply. |
| 35 |
Thank you, |
