[mythtv-users] Sound problems, aplay /dev/dsp doesnt work?

[Johnny Stork]

Based on the settings that I provided in the first posting (modules.conf) what would be the settings then that I should add into my modules.conf to get this to work?

Just adding

alias snd-card-0 snd-XXX

certainly doesnt work and going through those docs you mentioned is not clear (what should XXX be?) and I still cant get it to work. However, the original setting I provided does allow sound through xmms etc?

I would be very greatful if someone could provide/suggest the exact settings needed in my modules.conf, based on what is there now using the sb sound driver.

Thanks

<br>> aplay /dev/dsp returns the following:
<br>> 
<br>> [root at localhost root]# aplay /dev/dsp
<br>> aplay: main:480: audio open error: No such device
<br>
<br>"No such device" usually means the device file exists but
<br>there is no driver associated with that file. /dev/dsp
<br>is normally a sym link to dsp0 . For ALSA to associate
<br>a sound card with dsp0, you need a line in modules.conf for:
<br>
<br>alias snd-card-0 snd-XXX
<br>
<br>but I don't see this in the modules.conf segment you sent.
<br>
<br>Go to: <a href="http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-7.html#ss7.1"target="top">http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-7.html#ss7.1</a>
<br>and look over the section on how to edit your modules.conf .
