Re: [Alsa-user] ALSA & redhat 9

[JohnTerri M. <cla...@ya...>]

Andrei,   I I tried your suggestion, well really I used apt and apt-get from Nate's reply. Sound seems to work but I don't think I am really using the alsa driver. I haven't had time to dig into it.  What I am trying to do is get noteedit working with sound, that is why I am on this quest. (It is an app I use to practice guitar but, that is another story.)     After I did the apt-get install, I made sure the oss drivers weren't loaded I didn't see any sound drivers loaded, I tried to run alsamixer (and gnome-alsamixer) and it cored. I did reboot and try again both in kde and gnome with the same result.   On the noteedit side I did a make uninstall (both tse3 and noteedit), make clean, configure, make install, make. Now hoping that I would have sound in noteedit but to no avail.   Before people reply I do have a couple of things I want to try. Like I said I haven't had time to dig into the problem, you know my priorities are all screwed up, taking care of the family, work, other work, ...and finally the computer.   I am concerned that the apt-get may have not installed the desired version of the driver. I have an athlon but redhat seems to think I am using a i586 or i686 but it looked like the i386 driver was installed. I need to verify this because the utils and lib are only available in i386 and I may be remembering those and not the driver.   One of the things I am thinking is to go ahead and rebuild from source and maybe if I use a src rpm I will not get the schedule_work error. The reason I am think about the compile is that I will have a correct version for my system. I have had this setup working on at least 1 and maybe 2 previous versions of redhat and I have had to compile alsa, tse and noteedit before. It is good to know some folks seem to have things working. Of course when I was using the avance logic card if was a little easier to see if things were correct because redhat didn't support it so as soon as I had sound I was sure it was alsa, with SB Live redhat supports it but noteedit needs alsa or oss sequencer. I even tried the aRTs, it was selected during noteedits ./configure but no joy.   Well thanks for the help, Klaus also gave me a suggestion I haven't tried yet about doing touch workqueue.h. I will be back asking for help or letting you know what happened. ThanksJohn M

I recently posted a solution for that on the mailing list, it's in the
archives.

Basically, you have to go to freshrpms.net and get the ALSA rpm
packages. They seem to work fine for me so far.
Direct link here:

Instead of gettting/installing the binary packages, i actually
downloaded the src.rpm's and rebuilt'em (long story, don't ask). That
worked fine, however it may be simpler to just download/install the
binaries.
