Sound problem [solved]

[TwoFace]

Hi all! Few days ago I installed my first Linux and I have problem...

At first, my computer: Motherboard - ASRock AM2NF6G-VSTA(nForce 405, on-board audio:Realtek HD, codec - ALC888), CPU - Athlon 64 3000+, 1 Gb RAM, Samsung 160GB SATA, nVidia GeForce 7300GT 256Mb

I have Mandriva Linux 2007.1 Free(i586).

 

Problem:

When I turn audio system, I have this message:

ound server informational message:
Error while initializing the sound driver:
device /dev/dsp can't be opened (no such device)
The sound server will continue, using the null output devise

 

I tried to find solution by myself. I've downloaded and installed alsa-driver-1.0.14, but this don't help me.

After that I've downloaded driver realtek-linux-audiopack-4.06b.tar.bz2 from Realtek Web site. I installed them following instructions, but this don't work.

 

Here some information i've collected during my dance with system:

twoface@twoface ~]$ alsamixer

alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device
[twoface@twoface ~]$

 

[root@twoface twoface]# modprobe snd-hda-intel

Please, help me solve this problem, I hav'nt slept all this days searching Web, but I can't find solution!

P.S.: Sorry for my bad English, it's not my native.

Did you try running "alsaconf" as root?

Preferrably after leaving your graphical environment, with say a "telinit 3".

Thanks for advice. I entered system as root in console mode, ran the alsaconf. It said that all is OK, but after starting X I had again this message:

Error while initializing the sound driver:
device /dev/dsp can't be opened (no such file or directory)
The sound server will continue, using the null output devise

 

Any ideas?

Please give the output of

cat /etc/modprobe.conf

I've read that alsa driver 1.0.14 supports kernel version 2.6.20 and later, but my kernel is 2.6.17. May be this is the problem?
