Sound works in Knoppix but not in Debian - Linux-noob - 2004-05-07
Hi,
I have a Maestro-3 Allegro-1 ESS1988 soundcard which works great in Knoppix.
However in Debian I keep getting "sox: Can't open output file '/dev/dsp': No such device" whenever it attempts to play sound.
So, I do a sndconfig and the following comes up:
"You don't seem to be running a kernel with modular sound enabled. (soundcore.o was not found in the
module search path). To use sndconfig, you must be running a kernel with modular sound, such as the kernel shipped with Red Hat Linux or a 2.2 or greater kernel."
When I do a "locate sound.o" I get the following:
/lib/modules/2.4.18-bf2.4/kernel/drivers/sound/sound.o
/usr/src/linux-2.6.5/sound/core/sound.o
/usr/src/linux-2.6.5/sound/core/.sound.o.cmd
I've recompiled the kernel for module support as well as sound (ALSA) support but still it doesn't work. I don't know what to do... please help!!!
