Re: [Alsa-user] SiS 7012 : No PCM sound (module intel8x0)

[Laurent <lau...@on...>]

I'm using the alsa-oss compatibility library... But i have no complaints from the window manager because there is a /dev/dsp !
And my distro is using Alsa 0.9 RC2 (i've tried also the RC5 with the utils and the lib update)...
But it isn't just a problem with the oss compat. library. When i use a program which can use alsa directly (like ogg123), it's the same !

I suspect a bad initialisation of my card with the alsa driver and that's why loading the OSS commercial driver ( the only driver under linux which works with my card because SiS driver too is unable to play sound...) can solve the problem with alsa...

The mixer works fine, i can move the slider, i can hear audio CD, xmms for example seems to produce sound but nothing... (and of course volume, pcm and all the others are unmuted and with 100%)
