Error starting alsa

[sanderjd]

I followed the Alsa guide in the documentaion section, but when I run "/etc/init.d/alsasound start", i get the following errors

Code: Select all

I am using a soundblaster audigy ls soundcard and I have support for it loaded as a module in the kernel. I also installed alsa-driver as per the guide, I'm not sure if I was supposed to do both or not. Any ideas would be appreciated.

If you're using a 2.6 kernel, then you don't need alsa-driver, but you do need alsa-tools. Or alsa-utils, I can't remember which. Maybe both.

Anyway, look at the output of dmesg, also.
