Troubleshooting sound

[javaguy]

So I upgraded to Mandriva 2007, and sound stopped working.

 

I did the "classic" sound troubleshooting, but unfortunately I'm at a bit of a loss as to what to do with what I discovered.

 

First step, run lspcidrake -v | fgrep AUDIO yields

snd-ice1724 : IC Ensemble Inc.|ICE1724 [Envy24HT] [MULTIMEDIA_AUDIO] (vendor:1412 device:1724 subv:14c3 subd:1705)

 

So then I run grep sound-slot /etc/modprobe.conf, which yields

alias sound-slot-0 snd-ice1724

 

Next I run /sbin/lsmod, and this is what I get:

Should I be seeing snd-ice1724 somewhere in that list? If not, then what am I looking for? If it should be there but isn't, what should I do?

 

Thanks in advance!

Of course it should be listed... does it exist at all?

Try a

modprobe snd-ice1724

as root and see if the module is loaded.

In modprobe.conf you should have something like

 

alias sound-slot-0 snd-ice1724

above snd-ice1724 snd-pcm-oss

 

These entries could also not be entered manually, but generated by running alsaconf. And remember- it's always advisable dropping to init 3 before running alsaconf, so that you get sure that the sound device is not used by any application.

In modprobe.conf I have:

Fixed! I think this was closely related to the problem that was causing my NVidia driver woes. (I had the kernel source package installed, but the wrong version of it). I reran alsaconf, and everything worked.

 

Thanks!

[javaguy]

I spoke too soon. The system sound test ran find, and I heard sound after I ran alsaconf. Then I logged out and logged back in again, and sound is gone again. I first noticed when I ran Enemy Territory:

 

------- sound initialization -------

/dev/dsp: Device or resource busy

Could not open /dev/dsp

------------------------------------

Sound memory manager started

Sys_LoadDll(/home/javaguy/.etwolf/etmain/ui.mp.i386.so)...

Sys_LoadDll(/home/javaguy/.etwolf/etmain/ui.mp.i386.so) failed:

"/home/javaguy/.etwolf/etmain/ui.mp.i386.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

Sys_LoadDll(/usr/local/games/enemy-territory/etmain/ui.mp.i386.so)... ok

 

I ran ls -l /dev/dsp and got:
