jared, yep i mistyped in the email. but not in shell. it is slackware. gentoo is on my other machine. thot you knew this prob has been in the plug mailing list for a while so i assumed you knew it was slackware. not sure about what to do here: > if /etc/init.d/alsasound is not present, then just > reload all the snd modules: > lsmod #then rmmod all the snd-modules - or just > reboot. yes /etc/init.d/alsasound is not present. in fact there is not init.d i'm guessing this is because it's not gentoo. anyway it looks like I should type lsmod. so I do that: and i get quite a list. then you say i should rmmod all of the snd-modules. ok i pick out the snd-**** and type: rmmod snd-whatever for all of them root@slackware:/etc# rmmod snd-pcm-oss root@slackware:/etc# rmmod snd-mixer-oss snd-mixer-oss: Device or resource busy root@slackware:/etc# rmmod snd-atiixp snd-atiixp: Device or resource busy root@slackware:/etc# rmmod snd-atiixp-modem snd-atiixp-modem: Device or resource busy root@slackware:/etc# rmmod snd-pcm snd-pcm: Device or resource busy root@slackware:/etc# rmmod snd-timer snd-timer: Device or resource busy root@slackware:/etc# rmmod snd-page-alloc snd-page-alloc: Device or resource busy root@slackware:/etc# rmmod snd-ac97-codec snd-ac97-codec: Device or resource busy root@slackware:/etc# rmmod snd-timer snd-timer: Device or resource busy root@slackware:/etc# rmmod snd-ac97-codec snd-ac97-codec: Device or resource busy root@slackware:/etc# rmmod soundcore soundcore: Device or resource busy root@slackware:/etc# then i root@slackware:/etc# alsamixer No mixer elems found then since the other option was to 'lsmod' and just reboot. so after lsmod and rebooting.. and then run alsamixer and i get: d root@slackware:~# alsamixer No mixer elems found mike h. root@slackware:~# --- Jared Anderson wrote: > okay, is this a gentoo box, or slackware? > > Don't know if you mistyped just here, or there, or > both, but its: > modules-update > which is for gentoo (don't know about slackware) > > if /etc/init.d/alsasound is not present, then just > reload all the snd modules: > lsmod #then rmmod all the snd-modules - or just > reboot. > > Then try alsamixer.... > > Someone Said: > >jared, > > > >looks like man moduels-update doesn't work > > > >but went ahead and added the alias' you mentioned > to > >modules.conf anyway and tried to continue with the > >instructions, no luck really. > > > >here's what i typed and the output. > > > >root@slackware:/etc# man modules-update > >No manual entry for modules-update > >root@slackware:/etc# gedit modules.conf > >root@slackware:/etc# /etc/init.d/alsasound restart > >-bash: /etc/init.d/alsasound: No such file or > >directory > >root@slackware:/etc# alsamixer > >No mixer elems found > > > >root@slackware:/etc# > >---- > > > >here is what modules.conf says now: > >root@slackware:/etc# cat modules.conf > > > ># --- BEGIN: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. > --- > ># --- ALSACONF verion 1.0.5 --- > >alias char-major-116 snd > >alias char-major-14 soundcore > >alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss > >alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss > >alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss > >alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss > >alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss > >alias snd-card-0 snd-atiixp > >alias sound-slot-0 snd-atiixp > >alias /dev/mixer snd-mixer-oss > >alias /dev/dsp snd-pcm-oss > >alias /dev/midi snd-seq-oss > ># --- END: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. --- > > > >root@slackware:/etc# > > > > > >thanks, > > > >mike h > > > > > > > > > >--- Jared Anderson wrote: > > > >> Try man modules-update > >> > >> modules-update is a back(front?)end to manage > >> modules.conf file. > >> > >> > >=========================================================== > >> gNotebook ~ # cat /etc/modules.conf > >> ### This file is automatically generated by > >> modules-update > >> # > >> # Please do not edit this file directly.
