119176 2003-02-09 06:32:00 Looks like my post just got attacked by the PF1 bold bug :( and the space bug (which inserts spaces into the text), maby its time they considered modding an alternative (and opensource) forum package to look like the present PF1. nz_liam (845)
119177 2003-02-09 06:34:00 Now I get "unrecognised kernel version : 2.4.18-24.8.0", any ideas?

119178 2003-02-09 06:42:00 Actually I've decided to try the latest devalopment release 'alsa-driver-0.9.0rc7.tar.bz2' rather than the older (stable) alsa-driver-0.5.12a.tar.bz2 release. Will see how that goes. nz_liam (845)
119179 2003-02-09 07:24:00 Well the 'make install' seemed to run ok this time, I wont give you a copy of the command prompt print out, because a. the prompt turncated it, and b. 'make install' too 20 mins to finish (and I dont think you want to sit here reading some THAT big).

I then went onto run './snddevices' (of wich I will give you the printout);

[root@localhost alsa-driver-0.9.0rc7]# ./snddevices

However when I bootup I still get the same old error (sal.neoburn.net).

Is there anyway I can manualy check if /dev/dsp or rather /dev/dsp0 is working?

119180 2003-02-11 14:32:00 Well I decided to buy myself a decent soundcard to replace the horible AC'97 onboard jobbee that was causing all this trouble.

So now I have; 1 Mic port + 1 Line in port + 1 Front speakers out port + 1 Back speakers out port + 1 C/SUB port + 1 Joystick/MIDI port + 1 Coax S/PDIF out port + 1 Coax S/PDIF in port + 1 Toslink S/PDIF out port + 1 S/PDIF in port, on my new soundcard :D!!

And I can now use Linux to load music onto my MiniDisc :)


Thanks for all you help everyone.


Cheers

119182 2003-02-12 00:09:00 Most make operations start with the command " . /configure" . This sets everything up for local (that is, your machine) environment, and builds a makefile just for you . Not doing that probably caused your problems with alsa . Graham L (2)
