[mythtv-users] Sound in FC2 2.6.8-1.521

[Jon Kunze]

Ok, after going through all the steps in Jarod's guide for ALSA. I'm
having some bad things happen.

My .asoundrc file is as follows:

$ cat > ~/.asoundrc
pcm.intel8x0 {
type hw
card 0
}

ctl.intel8x0 {
type hw
card 0
}
(Now hit Control-D to end cat input)


And my modeprobe.conf file reads as:

alias eth0 forcedeth
alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0
install snd-intel8x0 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-intel8x0 && /usr/sbin/$
remove snd-intel8x0 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; /sbin/m$
alias usb-controller ehci-hcd
alias usb-controller1 ohci-hcd
# nvidia kernel module
alias char-major-195 nvidia-1_0-6111



And when I try to do /usr/bin/aplay /usr/share/sounds/KDE_Startup.wav I get:

ALSA lib conf.c:1565:(snd_config_load1) _toplevel_:12:0:Unexpected end of file 
 ALSA lib conf.c:2807:(snd_config_hook_load) /home/mythtv/.asoundrc
may be old or corrupted: consider to remove or fix it
 ALSA lib conf.c:2671:(snd_config_hooks_call) function
snd_config_hook_load returned error: Unknown error
 ALSA lib conf.c:3036:(snd_config_update_r) hooks failed, removing
configuration
 aplay: main:508: audio open error: Unknown error 


Any suggestions on why this isn't working? Has anyone else had these
problems? I had myth running on FC1, but wanted to go to FC2 to
alleviate some problems associated with the two capture cards I'm
using. Thanks in advance.
