I installed FC4 on a Compaq EN PIII 650. For some reason it didn't
detect the sound card, a Creative Labs SoundBlaster AudioPCI 128.
So I checked alsa's site for loading it manually and tried following the
instructions. The modules all load ok, but when I tried to load
alsamixer I get:
alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or
directory
If I do 'strace -eopen alsamixer' I get:
open("/etc/ld.so.cache", O_RDONLY) = 3
open("/usr/lib/libncurses.so.5", O_RDONLY) = 3
open("/lib/libasound.so.2", O_RDONLY) = 3
open("/lib/libm.so.6", O_RDONLY) = 3
open("/lib/libdl.so.2", O_RDONLY) = 3
open("/lib/libpthread.so.0", O_RDONLY) = 3
open("/lib/libc.so.6", O_RDONLY) = 3
open("/etc/alsa/alsa.conf", O_RDONLY) = 3
open("/dev/snd/controlC0", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or
directory)
open("/dev/aloadC0", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or
directory)
open("/dev/snd/controlC0", O_RDWR) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or
directory)
open("/dev/snd/controlC0", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or
directory)
open("/dev/aloadC0", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or
directory)
open("/dev/snd/controlC0", O_RDWR) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or
directory)
alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or
directory
These directories do not exist, do I need to create them manually?
Also, 'lsmod' gives me in case it helps:
