Hello,
I've got an HD installation of DSL 2.0 on my prehistoric laptop Toshiba 480CDT (P233MMX, 32MB RAM).
Using myDSL utility I've intalled package ALSA and run alsaconf (and/or installation script provided with the packages - I've tried several combinations). The sound card (sb8) was detected properly, but applications freeze when I try to play sound.
I've tried several programs: xmms, play and aplay are good examples. All of them give me no error messages, but they don't play the music. The volume is of course unmuted. For example: when I click on "play" button in xmms, the time counter remains on 00:00, and program freezes (but not hangs up) no matter what output plugin I use (ALSA or OSS)
Things that I've tried to do:
* Checked permissions on /dev/dsp*, /dev/mixer* and so on,
* Manually loaded proper modules,
* Installed alsa-debs (well... that was my mistake ;) )
I wonder if some of you have the similiar ploblem. Have you found any solutions? I know that hardly anyone uses SB8 soundcard in 2006, but the hardware is OK, it works well with Slackware 10.1
TIA for your answer
