So now, all of a sudden, my sound no longer works. My bad for actually rebooting my PeeCee. I should know better ... once it works, don't fscking breath.
| Code: | mark@tess mark $ ls -l /dev/snd/
total 0
crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 0 Dec 31 1969 controlC0
crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 33 Dec 31 1969 timer
mark@tess mark $ ls -l /dev/sound/
total 0
mark@tess mark $ |
*sigh*. Any idea how I get my sound devices back? I am using devfs. Maybe I just need to re-emerge some part of ALSA? I have no idea ...

Are the ALSA modules loaded? E.g. do you see something like this:
| Code: | 29.10.03 1:12 root /home/bjoern$ lsmod

I am playing around w/ udev (to replace devfs) and I ended up w/ the same problem....
I had too recreate a lot if indoe files to make things work again... something you do anyway if you are not using devfs.
What I did is just download the latest alsa driver tar.gz/bz2 file from alsa-project.org, and in the top of the extracted folder used a script the install uses. There are actually two script files: snddevices and snddevices.sh. They are actually the same file and the same scripts... I think some systems out there have to have the .sh...
Anyway... the script is fine as it is, except it assigns the permissions of the new dev files to belong to the audio group. Just edit the the top of the file, and change the line that calls the permission command (think it was chmod) from (root,audio) to (root,wheel) to make it less of a pain for us gentoo users... (because portage assigns it to wheel)
If you do have devfsd running, and you want it to take care of... I'm guess it didn't work for you becasue the file node and aliases where not defined in your devfsd and modules.conf config files... also check if you have devfsd starting at boot...
The script will make it work no matter what... but then no one but yourself is keeping track of the files made in /dev...

oi ...
My bad. I apparently overwrote my /etc/modules.d/alsa at some point, during an etc-update probably.
-5 karma for me.
I'm all better now.
