Hi All,
Running Fedora Core 6 (updated) I run into regular sound problems.
I would be very grateful if someone could point me in the right direction.
I include as much information as I can below.
If you need anything else, please specify.
I am quite willing to try different things, but I have no idea
===== Symptom ======
Every time I restart the machine I have to wait whether I can play my
music or not.
2 out of 4 times I get the above error message, complete it is:
=== Error message ====
"
Sound server informational message:
Error while initializing the sound driver:
device: default can't be opened for playback (No such file or directory)
The sound server will continue, using the null output device.
"
I get this message in a window after KDE starts.
======= Device =============
When I then start (from the GUI) the menu options
"Administration/Soundcard Detection" I can see the chip is being
detected (nvidia Corporation CK804 AC'97 Audio Controller, module
snd-intel8x0), but the PCM device is empty (in both tabs "Sound test"
and "settings").
========== Sound log file ============
Under the tab "System" I can push a button called "Generate sound log
file /root/scsconfig.log". I included this file as attachment. If this
doesn't work I will send a second mail containing the contents (but it
is a large file....).
I am running Fedora core 6, updated to the current version.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
Guus.
