hi,

I have tried to configure the alsa sound driver like it's described in the alsadebs.info file:

1. Start up DSL with the "dsl alsa" boot command. /* I wrote this to /etc/lilo.conf */
2. Install the gnu-utils.dsl myDSL extension.
3. Install the dsl-dpkg.dsl myDSL extension.
4. Install this extension alsadebs.dsl
5. Choose "Install ALSA" from the myDSL menu.

After this alsa was load during the dsl boot process. But after the alsa sound card detecion there appears some errors:

1st: sth like "/etc/initr.d missing /var/alsaconf.cards"
I fixed it by creating "/var/alsaconf.cards" (empty file) and the error disappears.

2nd: sth like "modprobe module sound-slot-0 can't be located"
I don't know what I should do because while alsa is "running" the
programs like xmms or audacity displaying an I/O error window.

How can I fix this?

btw: I have no internet connection on dsl. @Piccolo: So I can't get sndconfig.

Greetings & cheers by

Alsa is not part of the base DSL system. It is an extension. Your post has been moved to the proper section.

i have a similar problem, although it wanted the alsaconf.cards file in /var/tmp/ creating the file (empty) did seem to get around the error.. the install script ends at the same point anyway, without error
