Laptops :: Toshiba Tecra - no sound
Phinger, Did you try booting from a dsl 2.0 liveCD using the "dsl alsa" boot command, then loading gnu-utils.dsl, then loading alsa.dsl, then running "alsa setup" from the right click menu? I'm curious why that failed.
Yea, I tried booting from the cd, but was given a different command "mydsl-load Alsa.dsl" by another forum member. didnt work.
Well, prior to that,the order of events was as follows:
Install to HDD, load gnu-utils.dsl, load alsa.dsl, then run "alsa setup" from the right click menu. I didnt see much.....command line box opened.....gave a bunch of lines(too fast to follow), and the box closed. I tried xmms, and though it didn't give the "couldnt open audio" error, I have no sound. Also no volume adj/mixer/whatever you want to call it.
just tried cd boot with dsl alsa.........nothing.fragging sound worked in windows. 
You put that whole line in /opt/bootlocal.sh to make it load everytime.
didnt work anyway.......got a "no-such device" and "incorrect parameters".......bleh bleh bleh. I feel like wiping this thing, and starting over.
