I've already asked #gentoo and the gentoo.org forums this question, and no one seems to know...so I thought I'd try here: I'm trying to get my SB Live Value card working. I have followed the gentoo-alsa config doc found here: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/alsa-guide.xml When I start up alsa, everything looks fine. The modules load with no errors. However, when I try to play/record/etc, I get this: lpdlnx01 tmp # arecord -d 3 -c2 -r16000 -f S16_LE test.wav Recording WAVE 'test.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 16000 Hz, Stereo arecord: pcm_read:1164: read error: Input/output error I get the same error when I try to play a wav file. Here's the output of lsmod in case that helps: lpdlnx01 tmp # lsmod Module Size Used by Not tainted snd-pcm-oss 39236 0 (unused) snd-mixer-oss 13528 0 [snd-pcm-oss] snd-seq-midi 3776 0 (autoclean) (unused) snd-emu10k1-synth 4796 0 (autoclean) (unused) snd-emux-synth 28956 0 (autoclean) [snd-emu10k1-synth] snd-seq-midi-emul 5008 0 (autoclean) [snd-emux-synth] snd-seq-virmidi 3128 0 (autoclean) [snd-emux-synth] snd-emu10k1 76484 0 (autoclean) [snd-emu10k1-synth] snd-pcm 64324 0 (autoclean) [snd-pcm-oss snd-emu10k1] snd-page-alloc 6612 0 (autoclean) [snd-emu10k1 snd-pcm] snd-util-mem 1408 0 (autoclean) [snd-emux-synth snd-emu10k1] snd-rawmidi 14176 0 (autoclean) [snd-seq-midi snd-seq-virmidi snd-emu10k1] snd-hwdep 4640 0 (autoclean) [snd-emux-synth snd-emu10k1] snd-ac97-codec 48220 0 (autoclean) [snd-emu10k1] snd-seq-oss 27360 0 (unused) snd-seq-midi-event 3776 0 [snd-seq-midi snd-seq-virmidi snd-seq-oss] snd-seq 40464 2 [snd-seq-midi snd-emux-synth snd-seq-midi-emul snd-seq-virmidi snd-seq-oss snd-seq-midi-event] snd-timer 15524 0 [snd-pcm snd-seq] snd-seq-device 4176 0 [snd-seq-midi snd-emu10k1-synth snd-emux-synth snd-emu10k1 snd-rawmidi snd-seq-oss snd-seq] snd 34180 0 [snd-pcm-oss snd-mixer-oss snd-seq-midi snd-emux-synth snd-seq-virmidi snd-emu10k1 snd-pcm snd-util-mem snd-rawmidi snd-hwdep snd-ac97-codec snd-seq-oss snd-seq-midi-event snd-seq snd-timer snd-seq-device] soundcore 4228 10 [snd] Thanks- Erik _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
